Statewide landfill disposal data origins and interpretation
Waste volumes presented in the statewide solid waste disposal statistics reports are an annual summary of volumes received under the authority of the Hazardous Substance Response Act (HSRF), 25-15-104.5 CRS.All facilities with a certificate of designation and with an attendant are required to report their volumes to the state on a quarterly basis and pay a specified fee.Money collected is split between a fund for Superfund match and the Solid Waste Management Fund.
-
Waste quantities may be reported and tallied by cubic yards, tons, vehicles or gallons. All waste quantities are then converted to cubic yards based on the following conversion factors:
- 0.333 cubic yard per car.
- 0.666 cubic yard per truck.
- 3.333 cubic yards per ton (based on the "average" compaction rate for household trash).
- 5.000 cubic yards per 1,000 gallons.
- 0.75 cubic yards per ton for soil (beginning the first quarter of calendar year 2003).
The data presented in these reports consists of the total solid waste reported for each facility, a total for all facilities within a given county (County Total), and a total for all counties (State Volume). The data are for a calendar year.
- Waste volumes are for total waste and are not just municipal solid waste.
- National figures produced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are for municipal solid waste per capita and therefore exclude certain wastes that are included in our totals.
- To approximate the national figures reported by EPA, the approximate volume of non-municipal solid waste must be accounted for when converting our data.
