C2: Track Financial Data for Diversion and Waste Disposal – Above Green

(1 point)

INTENT

To understand fiscal impacts of zero waste initiatives.

REQUIREMENTS

Document diversion and associated costs (landfill disposal cost, avoided landfill cost, recycling hauling costs, any other fees/cost) and revenue (if applicable). Calculate actual annual cost and overall net for the program. Calculate at least one year’s results including baseline data for each commodity. All financial data must be reported on a monthly and annual basis.

POTENTIAL STRATEGIES

Track all the expenses related to the diversion of waste from landfill and incineration (WTE). Collect information on all of the collection, sorting, hauling fees, and rebate revenue. Cost per ton of waste can be tracked to demonstrate net benefit over tons that went to incineration (WTE) and landfill.

SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTATION

Narrative describing methodology for collecting financial data and how it is tracked.
Tracking report of financial data meeting requirements, which can include landfill disposal costs, avoided costs from diversion efforts, and revenue from recycling commodities sales for baseline year and reporting year.
Documentation verifying costs and revenues for at least one month, including invoices, receipts, rebate statements, checks, etc.
