My jurisdiction has a negative diversion rate. How is that possible?
Negative diversion rates, which occur when waste disposal exceeds waste generation, are most often caused by inaccurate base-year numbers. Although disasters, new industries, and disposal reporting problems may all cause the diversion rate calculation to go awry, an inaccurate base year is the most likely cause for a negative diversion rate. The best way to correct a base-year problem is to perform a new generation study and apply for a new base year.
