Go to the Programs Code Glossary section for a description of all the typical diversion programs. You may see programs that you should be reporting. To make sure all are reported, please include all the programs and facilities used by the residents and businesses within your jurisdiction, not just those that are funded by or located within your jurisdiction. If the program code is not currently on your Diversion Programs System list, add the code and list it as alternative program.
The program codes glossary is intended for jurisdictions to use as a reference tool for preparing annual reports. It was created by the CalRecycle local assistance staff to give a general description of the types of diversion programs included in each Diversion Programs System program code.
For more information about program types and which programs should be included, contact the local assistance staff representative for your jurisdiction.
