Local Government Central Local Government Library Basics Hot Topics and Events Introduction Disposal reporting assigns responsibility for all solid waste to the jurisdiction from which it came, for the purpose of calculating that jurisdiction s diversion rate .
Counties receive disposal information from each licensed disposal facility within their boundaries.
Counties send out quarterly disposal reports to both the Board and to each jurisdiction which disposes waste in that county. Each jurisdiction receives quarterly disposal reports from each county in which its waste is disposed. A jurisdiction must use the tonnages from those county disposal reports to calculate its diversion rate. Each county must report disposal every quarter, every year. If the reporting amounts appear inaccurate, a jurisdiction should first discern if there were extraordinary events during the report period that could result in unusual amounts of waste disposal.
