LinkLinks WTOP: TRASHED: Can the DC area clean up its waste problem? By Editor On May 28, 2019 Last updated May 28, 2019 39 Share Recycling isn’t exactly thriving in the nation’s capital. D.C.’s waste diversion rate (the percentage of waste diverted from the landfill or incinerator by recycling or other efforts) hovers around 23%. San Francisco’s rate is 80%, and Portland, Oregon, diverts 70% of its waste. New York and Philadelphia’s rates, however, are more in line with D.C. 39 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
