Calculation method for waste generation, recycling and diversion

This document outlines the method used to calculate the waste generation, recycling, diversion and disposal dataset (‘the dataset’) for the financial years 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18. The dataset was used for progress reporting against targets for Key Result Areas 1, 2 and 3 in the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2014-21 (‘the WARR Strategy’). This document should be read in conjunction with the Data quality statement, available on the NSW Environment Protection Authority’s (EPA’s) website.
