Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The manager of waste reduction and recycling is a new position hired in December, 2010. Specific data for each waste stream has been recorded for 2010. Waste and Recycling data was collected for many years before this, but it is not broken down enough to calculate and complete this submission with the desired level of accuracy. Please see the notes below for details on how numbers were reached:
2007 was used as the base year because data for 2005 was not available.
All data has been recorded for the calendar year (January to December) and therefore reported in that way.
Compost data for the baseline year is data for yard waste (as all of our yard waste is re-used/composted in various ways).
We added surplus furniture as a new category to our waste diversion totals for 2010. We have plans to facilitate the growth of this program in the coming years. Surplus Furniture accounted for 27.37 tons of total waste diverted from the landfill for 2010.
