Key Metrics to Track

Diversion Rate

lbs diverted / lbs generated

CO₂e Avoided

metric tons per year

Landfill Savings

tons diverted from landfill

Cost Impact

rebates - haul costs

Implementation Steps

Standardize categories

Define material buckets: wood, corrugated, plastic, metal. Use consistent naming.

Capture weights

Record weights or counts per pickup with date and location for traceability.

Request certificates

Collect diversion certificates and scale tickets from recyclers monthly.

Convert to CO₂e

Use EPA or GHG Protocol emission factors to calculate avoided emissions.

Publish dashboards

Share monthly dashboards internally and year-end summaries for annual reports.

Common Emission Factors

• Wood pallets: ~0.5 kg CO₂e per lb diverted from landfill

• Corrugated cardboard: ~0.4 kg CO₂e per lb recycled

• HDPE plastic: ~1.5 kg CO₂e per lb recycled vs virgin
