Waste Composition Reports

These reports provide information on the make up of Seattle's residential and commercial garbage, and construction, demolition and landclearing (CDL) waste. The overall success of Seattle’s programs, education/outreach efforts, and variable rate structure can be measured by how much is diverted from the landfill, and how much recyclable material remains in the garbage. Measuring these 2 indicators is a large undertaking so they are only updated every few years.
