2.0 WASTE STREAM ASSESSMENT <br />An estimated diversion rate for the nine waste categories is shown in Exhibit 2 -18. The <br />results suggest that more than half of the metal and glass generated in the County is <br />recycled (60 and 58 percent, respectively). Conversely, only 15 percent of paper is recycled <br />and there is very little construction and demolition debris currently being recycled. <br />EXHIBIT 2 -18 <br />FY 07 -08 Diversion Rate by Waste Category <br />Recycling composition from Hawaii County Department of Environmental <br />Management with some additional allocations by CH2M HILL.
