A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
California State law (Public Resources Code sections 40000 et seq.) requires that as a California State University, Cal Poly must divert 75% of all solid waste from Landfill disposal by 2020. Per construction documents "SECTION 01 74 19 CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL," contractors are required to file a Waste Management Plan and subsequent waste diversion reports showing at least 65% diversion from landfill for each project.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
C&D from 2018 Waste Metrics file; includes waste reported for completed construction projects, as well as 50% of state roll-off landfill (remaining 50% allocated to garbage from public bins). The reason this 50% roll off waste is included is because it is waste generated from minor construction and demolition projects that are happening on campus where roll offs are not sited specifically for that one project.
