2Emissions avoided through recycling and organics diversion are equivalent to the emissions that would be avoided by preventing the described use of either coal or gasoline.

Our methodology uses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories, the EPA’s Volume-to-Weight Conversion Factors, and the EPA’s Waste Reduction Model (WARM) v15. This calculator presents emissions based on models, not measurements. Therefore, the values provided shall not be used to report an exact quantification of your emissions. The values above represent the emissions released or avoided by one year of the selected services.
