Adjustment Factor Trends

Note: This page contains historical data from CIWMB’s statewide goal measurement prior to 2007 that estimated a diversion percentage. For 2007 and subsequent years, CIWMB compares reported disposal tons to population to calculate per capita disposal expressed in pounds/person/day. This new goal measurement system is described in CIWMB’s Goal Measurement: 2007 and Later web page.

This graph shows statewide percent change since 1990 in three major drivers or causes of waste generation: population, employment, inflation-adjusted taxable sales, and waste disposal for California.

The information shown in this graph is available in table format at Population, Economic and Disposal Changes.

A color line graph showing the percent change in adjustment facors from 1990 to 2006. The adjustment factors are employment, population and inflation-adjusted taxable sales.
