California's 2006 Statewide Diversion Rate Estimate
This is the third of three figures referenced in California's 2006 Statewide Diversion Rate Estimate. The 2006 increase in disposal was less than in the prior year. California's residential construction activity declined in 2006 may have contributed to this slower increase in disposal. Staff analysis shows there is a relationship between disposal tonnage and construction activity. The number of new housing units permitted in California increased yearly from 2000 to 2005.
See Figure 1 to compare 2006 employment by industry with 2005 and 2000.
See Figure 2 for California residential and non-residential building permit valuations since 2000.
