Note: This page contains historical data from CalRecycle’s statewide goal measurement prior to 2007 that estimated a diversion percentage. For 2007 and subsequent years, CalRecycle compares reported disposal tons to population to calculate per capita disposal expressed in pounds/person/day. This new goal measurement system is described in CalRecycle’s Goal Measurement: 2007 and Later web page.
Calculations to Correct Base-Year Generation for Changes in Population and Economics, Disposal Tonnage, Goal Achievement, and Diversion
Calculation to Correct Base-Year Generation for Changes in Population and Economics
-
- Inflation Multiplier = Base-Year inflation / Reporting Year inflation
- Report-Year Taxable Sales (inflation adjusted) = Inflation Multiplier x Reporting-Year Taxable Sales
- Taxable Sales Multiplier = Reporting-Year Taxable Sales (Corrected) / Base-Year Taxable Sales
- Employment Multiplier = Report-Year Employment / Base-Year Employment
- Nonresidential Adjustment = (Employment Multiplier +Taxable Sales Multiplier) / 2
- Population Multiplier = Reporting-Year Population / Base-Year Population
- Residential Adjustment Factor = (Population Multiplier + Non-Residential Adjustment Factor) /2
- Estimated Reporting-Year Generation Tonnage = [(Base-Year Residential Generation x Residential Adjustment Factor) + (Base-Year Nonresidential Generation x Non-Residential Adjustment Factor)]
Computed Maximum Allowable Disposal Tonnage
-
- Reporting-Year Maximum Allowable Disposal Percentage = 100 – Diversion Goal
- Reporting-Year Maximum Allowable Disposal Tonnage = Estimated Reporting-Year Generation Tonnage x Reporting-Year Maximum Allowable Disposal Percentage
Determination of Goal Achievement
-
- Corrected Reporting-Year Disposal Tonnage = Reporting-Year Disposal Amount – Total Reporting-Year Correction Amount
- Tonnage Over or Under Goal = Reporting-Year Maximum Allowable Disposal Tonnage – Corrected Reporting-Year Disposal Tonnage
Calculated Diversion Rate
-
- Reporting-Year Disposal Rate = Corrected Reporting-Year Disposal Tonnage / Estimated Reporting-Year Generation Tonnage
- Reporting-Year Diversion Rate = 100 – Reporting-Year Disposal Rate
