How will CalRecycle calculate a jurisdictions 50 percent equivalent per capita disposal target rate?
The 50 percent equivalent per capita disposal target is the amount of disposal a jurisdiction would have had during the base period if it had been exactly at a 50 percent diversion rate. It is calculated using the average of 2003-2006 per capita generation for each jurisdiction. It divides this generation average in half to determine the 50 percent equivalent per capita disposal target. For a rural reduction, to calculate, instead of dividing by 2 (same as multiplying by 0.5), multiply by 1 minus the diversion percentage rate (example: 30 percent diversion rate, multiply by 1–0.3 or 0.7). Note that per capita disposal uses only two factors: jurisdiction disposal and jurisdiction population. Disposal facility reports are provided quarterly to CalRecycle. The Department of Finance reports annually on jurisdiction population.
