Re: LEED for Cities – Solid Waste and Recycling Data Methodology
I contacted Mr. Derick Redding, the General Manger of Advance Disposal, to obtain the waste and recycling
information required for our LEED for the Cities certification application. Advance Disposal provides the
physical hauling of solid waste and recycling materials for the City of Atlantic Beach. Mr. Redding
provided both data and methodology for Advance Disposals calculations. Below describes their physical
process of hauling materials and their data calculation methodology:
Trucks collect curbside material at each household
Trucks arrive at a recycling or landfill facility and are weighed
Trucks dump their materials at facilities
Trucks are weighed as they leave facilities
TARE weights (weight of materials) are collected for each truck
Drivers are given total weight tickets at the end of each day
Drivers give their daily collection of tickets to Advance Disposal dispatch
Dispatch inputs total weights for solid waste and recycling into TRUX waste management software
Management runs TRUX audit reports that provide lifts, tons, and hours per route day for specific
time frames and route locations
Tonnage of solid waste, tonnage of recycling, and diversion rates are calculated from the TRUX
audit reports
The TRUX waste management software webpage can be found here:
