| Abstract: | The city of San José, California, USA, has a widely recognized integrated waste management program and is currently diverting
close to 50% of its waste stream from landfill disposal. This paper describes the residential and commercial components of
the city's waste management program. Information is presented on performance (e.g., types and quantities of materials that
are collected, processed, and disposed of), customer service, and costs associated with the program.
