Benchmark Service
Benchmark Service Overview Three components Measurement/data collection Evaluation Report findings to account holders Track progress towards our long-term goals Understand trends in recycling performance Communicate with account holders
1 2 6 4 3
Benchmark Data 2700 residential samples 2200 single-family, 500 multi-family Statistical confidence of 95% 1100 commercial samples Eight business categories Average residential garbage weight increased by 4.7 pounds (25% increase) Most of the increase in garbage was from organics
Two Reports to Date
Additional Insights The weight (and percent) of cardboard, bottles, papers, cans decreased in the garbage 20 percent of single-family residences meet Year 2020 diversion goal Next fiscal year conduct research to identify specific barriers contributing to change
