Facility Information Toolbox (FacIT)

This website provides an overview and links to the Facility Information Toolbox (FacIT) Project (formerly known as the Recycling and Waste Management Infrastructure Project).

FacIT is a set of information tools on CalRecycle’s existing public Internet website that provides:

• A searchable database of information on California disposal and recycling facilities accessible by clicking on a map symbol, or by choosing a county, facility or material type category. Data about each facility includes contacts, activities, the types of materials input or output, capacity class and other useful facts.
• A Capacity Projection Model that estimates the future need for new recycling and waste management facilities in California. Model outputs include projected waste disposal from 2010 through 2025 for counties, regions or the state as a whole, and identification of facility gaps by comparing projected facility capacity with projected material flows. A facility equivalency calculator allows users to estimate the number of facilities required to satisfy any capacity gaps.
• Links for facility operators that want to add or edit information in FacIT.
• A Staff Executive Summary and Consultant's full Project Report that summarizes the Facility Information Toolbox Project Results and provides more detailed information on each project element.
