GHG emissions are generated by solid waste through the transport to landfills and 
subsequent off-gassing associated with solid waste decomposition. Under this 
strategy, the City would reduce the amount of solid waste deposited at landfills 
by diverting it to other waste streams such as recycling or composting. This 
diversion would also provide recycled solid waste materials for reuse in other 
products. The implementation of the one measure and one action under this 
strategy would reduce the City’s GHG emissions by approximately 7,800 by 2030. 
This strategy would also support the City in meeting regional and State diversion 
goals. Table 3-9 outlines the framework for this strategy.
