Sanchez questions Anderson on residential organics collection tonnage and diversion
Sanchez asks for average daily collection of source-separated residential organics and landfill diversion estimates. Anderson reports 80,000 tons of organics collected year-to-date and promises to provide the daily average.
Okay, turning our attention to co-digestion.
What is the average daily collection in pounds of source-separated residential organic waste?
Can the department provide an estimate of the amount of organic waste diverted from landfills due to curbside collection of residential organic waste?
Absolutely.
So year to date this year, we've collected 80,000 tons of organics.
I don't have the average daily in front of me here.
Trying to do the math quickly.
We'll get back to you with the average daily, but it's 80,000 tons so far this year.
