Your Recovery Statement

Where did your
waste go?

Your waste collection form shows how much material left your site and where it went. The processor’s records show what happened to it next.

Soilganics checks incoming weights against processing and recycling records, then subtracts rejects. Your Recovery Statement shows how much was recovered and your diversion rate. To measure a decrease in landfill waste, compare your results with the prior 12 months of documented landfill waste.
