Waste Diversion
Factual Definition of Waste Diversion
Waste diversion is the process of redirecting disposable materials away from landfills or incinerators through alternative management methods. This practice focuses on finding secondary uses for trash by prioritizing recycling, composting and material reuse. By keeping debris out of long-term containment facilities, businesses can lower their environmental footprint and conserve natural resource spaces. Common synonyms include landfill diversion and waste stream diversion.
How Waste Diversion Is Used in the Waste Industry
In the waste industry, operations use waste diversion strategies during large construction, demolition or commercial cleanouts. They track diversion rates by weighing the materials sent to recovery facilities versus those hauled to a standard landfill. For instance, concrete, metal and wood may be sorted out on the jobsite in order to be processed into aggregate or mulch instead of taking up valuable space in a landfill.
