Use cases / Landfill Diversion

Build a diversion plan you can measure

Start with the materials leaving your sites and the evidence behind their destination. Evaluate recycling and organics options before setting a target.

The decision behind the data

A diversion goal needs a defensible baseline

Collection does not necessarily mean recovery. Missing weights, inconsistent periods, and unconfirmed destinations can make progress difficult to explain.

A practical review sequence

  1. Establish a baseline using consistent periods and units.
  2. Confirm accepted materials and handling requirements with providers.
  3. Track changes separately from estimates and unverified recovery claims.

Prepare for the audit

Gather your records

Weight tickets, destination records, service costs, and local recycling or organics acceptance criteria.
