UC Berkeley has a goal of achieving a ninety percent (90%) diversion rate by 2020. See: http://sustainability.berkeley.edu/waste

A minimum of sixty-five percent (65%) of total project demolition and construction waste (by weight or by volume) shall be diverted from the landfill and projects shall attempt to divert ninety percent (90%).
