Landfill Diversion Rate

The Landfill Diversion Rate measures the percentage of waste that is redirected away from landfills through recycling, composting, or reuse. It indicates how effectively a community or organization is reducing waste sent to landfill sites by finding environmentally friendly ways to handle waste materials. A higher rate reflects better waste management practices, emphasizing resource recovery and minimizing environmental impact. This metric helps track progress toward sustainability goals and encourages efforts to decrease landfill dependency.
