General Observations

• Again, the Index artificially has a maximum value of 2.0. The directional arrows are still indicative of
the direction and magnitude of change.

• San Miguel does not have a landfill.

Routt County Observations:

• Routt showed the second largest increase in solid waste production.

Environmental Solid Waste

RCLI=1.01

How much waste does Routt County produce per capita?

The Index uses solid waste as a measure to track effectiveness at reducing waste in general. Lower numbers reflect a lower amount of solid waste in the landfill. As data for recycling becomes available, it will be added to the Index in addition to solid waste.
