58 Percent Diversion Generated 94 Million Tons Disposed 39.6 Million Tons Diverted 53.5 Million Tons California hits recycling milestone SACRAMENTO December 29, 2008 Fifty-eight percent of solid waste in California is now recycled or otherwise diverted away from landfills, the Integrated Waste Management Board says today. It’s the highest percentage of any state, it says, ahnd amounts to diverting 54 million tons of trash for reuse and recycling. California produces about 93 million tons of solid waste per year. Fifty-four million tons of diverted waste is equivalent to filling more than 100 football fields to a height equal to the Empire State Building, the waste board figures. “We are proud to be the nation’s recycling leader,” says Board Chairwoman Margo Reid Brown. “This great accomplishment is testimony to the hard work and very successful partnership between state and local government, the solid waste industry, businesses, and everyday citizens.”
