Recycling Diversion and Capture Rates
For each Community District, its Recycling Diversion rate (percentage of total municipal solid waste collected by the Department of Sanitation that is disposed of by recycling) and Capture Rate (percentage of total Paper or Metal/Glass/Plastic in the waste stream that is disposed of by recycling). For more information about DSNY's recycling programs, see: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dsny/site/services/recycling. Capture rate is the amount of materials set out for residential recycling collection as a percentage of designated recyclable materials in both recycling and refuse streams. This ratio measures how much of the targeted materials are actually being recycled, which is a measure of how successfully such materials are recycled. Please note that since 2013, DSNY no longer uses capture rate information. For information on what is in NYC's waste, see: http://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dsny/site/resources/reports/waste-characterization.

The publisher's promise
How the agency that publishes this data says it keeps the data current.
OverdueNo automatic refresh
- Automatic refresh
No scheduled refresh runs for this dataset. A refresh you ask for on this page runs anyway.
The publisher set a regular schedule for this dataset but has not updated it for far longer than that schedule, so the automatic queue skips it. An hourly triage lifts this fence once the publisher updates it again, which takes up to about 7 hours 15 minutes.

Columns
Each source column, with the name and type we use to store it.
