A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
California State law (Public Resources Code sections 40000 et seq.) requires that as a California State University, Cal Poly must divert 75% of all solid waste from Landfill disposal by 2020. Per construction documents "SECTION 01 74 19 CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL," contractors are required to file a Waste Management Plan and subsequent waste diversion reports showing at least 65% diversion from landfill for each project.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Construction and demolition includes waste reported for completed/In progress construction projects, as well as 50% of state roll-off landfill tonnage (remaining 50% allocated to garbage from public bins). The reason for the 50% allocation covers waste generated from minor construction and demolition projects that are happening on campus where roll offs are not sited specifically for that one project.
