Define the reporting rule first
- Agree which materials are included in the project total.
- Agree whether quantities are measured by weight or another accepted method; do not combine incompatible units.
- Identify the owner’s reporting standard, accepted destination evidence and responsible record keeper.
- Confirm available reuse or recovery destinations and separation requirements before setting an achievable target.
Report what the records support
Keep load tickets and destination receipts. Distinguish reuse, material recovery, disposal and unknown outcomes. Do not count the entire mixed load as recycled because it was delivered to a sorting operation; obtain the reporting evidence required by the project.
Meyers does not promise a diversion percentage or zero-waste outcome. A final result should be stated only after the relevant destinations and quantities are documented. Burning is not material recycling and must not be presented as proof of recycling.
Allow for real project constraints
Contamination, suspect materials, limited space, outlet acceptance, haul distance and schedule may restrict available options. Record unresolved assumptions in the scope and confirm changes before dispatching a different stream or destination.
Plan the next step
Request roll-off container pricing or review hauling and material movement. For removal work, review demolition, selective demolition and civil and sitework.
Official references
Confirm current requirements and actual facility acceptance for the project. These references describe requirements and options; they do not establish a project authorization or a Meyers recovery result.
