WASTE QUANTITY PROJECTION - CALENDAR YEAR BASIS
<br /> Assembly Bill 939, passed by the California Legislature and signed
<br /> by the Governor in 1989, requires counties and cities to divert 25%
<br /> and 50% of their waste stream by the years 1995 and 2000
<br /> respectively. This waste diversion from landfills is to be
<br /> accomplished through source reduction, recycling and composting.
<br /> The County and the Cities in the County are currently determining
<br /> the existing waste diversion rates County wide, so for purposes of
<br /> this report a 10% diversion rate will be assumed until more
<br /> accurate figures are determined.
<br /> Based on 1989 usage and population projections, the following table
<br /> was prepared, that indicates the estimated amount of waste that
<br /> will be received at the Lovelace Transfer Station through the year
<br /> 2010, both without and with the increased recycling emphasis of AB
<br /> 939 . The table also indicates the actual quantities received.
