Some data estimated. NR means "not reported." Local paper and cardboard recycling has decreased due increased reuse rates. This has resulted in a decrease/increase to the total amount of material tallied. Scrap metal tonnage recycled has increased due to an increase in construction and maintenance projects. Wood pole recycling statistics have deteriorated somewhat as a result of the recycling program being shut down for few months due to winter storm damage. Fluorescent tube recovery decreased likely due to a decrease in the number of retrofit programs last year. E-resources (formerly e-waste) recovery has increased this year likely due to and increase in the quantity of equipment slated for replacement. The silica gel program experienced reduced volumes over last year due to a reduction of recyclable product being returned. Amounts shown include resourced recycled on behalf of British Columbia Transmission Corporation.

Landfill Diversion Rate

Percentage

	F2002	F2003	F2004	F2005	F2006	F2007
Non-Hazardous Solid Waste (estimated)	63	66	67	75	77	77

Landfill diversion rate estimates the percentage of total solid, non-hazardous waste prevented from going to landfill due to reuse, refurbishment or recycling. In F2005, the calculation method was revised in F2006 and is no longer comparable to years prior to that date. It is calculated by dividing the total weight of all materials recycled by the total weight of all incoming end-of-life material, for the period shown. It does not include materials that may have been disposed, or recycled, by individual facilities without notifying Materials Management Business Unit. The diversion rate remained the same compared to last year because wood pole recycling program was shut down for a few months due to storm damage. BC Hydro has demonstrated that these initiatives save money as well as landfill space.
