Waste Reduction Carbon Footprint Calculator

Use this worksheet to describe the baseline and alternative MSW management scenarios that you want to compare. Please follow the steps below to enter your material tonnage information in the input boxes in the tables, and select appropriate landfill and waste transport characteristics.

Tips:

If the listed material is not generated in your community/organization or you do not want to analyze it, leave it blank or enter 0.
Make sure that the total quantity generated equals the total quantity managed.

Step 1. Baseline Scenario

Please describe your current (or baseline) waste management scenario by entering the tons of each material type that is generated and disposed.

Material	Tons Generated	Tons Recycled	Tons Landfilled	Tons Combusted	Tons Composted
Aluminum Cans					N/A
Steel Cans					N/A
Copper Wire					N/A
Glass					N/A
HDPE					N/A
LDPE					N/A
PET					N/A
Corrugated Cardboard					N/A

Please enter data in short tons (1 short ton = 2,000 lbs.)
Please refer to the User's Guide if you need assistance completing this table.
1 Recycled concrete used as aggregate in the production of new concrete
2 Recycled fly ash is utilized to displace Portland cement in concrete production.
3 Recycling tires is defined in this analysis as retreading and does not include other recycling activities (i.e. crumb rubber applications).

Step 2. Alternative Management Scenario

Please describe your alternate waste management scenario by entering the tons of each material type that is source reduced or disposed. Please note that the baseline generation tonnages will stay the same as those entered in Step 1.

Material	Tons Source Reduced	Tons Recycled	Tons Landfilled	Tons Combusted	Tons Composted
Aluminum Cans					N/A
Steel Cans					N/A
Copper Wire					N/A
Glass					N/A

Fly Ash ²	N/A			N/A	N/A
Tires ³					N/A

Step 3. Landfill Characteristics

The emissions from landfilling depend on whether the landfill where your waste is disposed has a landfill gas (LFG) control system. If you do not know whether your landfill has LFG control, select "National Average," which calculates emissions based on the proportions of landfills with LFG control in 2004. If your landfill does not have a LFG system, select “No LFG Recovery.” If a LFG system is in place at your landfill, select “LFG Recovery” and click one of the indented buttons to indicate whether LFG is recovered for energy or flared.

National Average

No LFG Recovery

LFG Recovery

Recover for energy

Flare

Step 4. Waste Transport Characteristics

Emissions that occur during transport of materials to the management facility are included in this model. You may use default transport distances, 20 miles, or provide information on the transport distances for the various MSW management options.

Use default distance
