As our project is located in Northern CA, it is not diffidult to achieve this credit as there are many haulers with third-party certified diversion rates (RCI) in the area. They may not be lowest cost or be a part of the XBE vendors, which can sometimes lead to other haulers being chosen which align with the aforementioned conditions. Our company has a goal to use only certified haulers so this is easy for our project to achieve and we get accurate diversion rates.

I agree with Kavita that Northern California makes the credit easy, as do jurisdictions that mandate the use of certain facilities that are RCI certified. However, it can still be difficult to achieve diversion rate thresholds as the industry struggles to find a market for recyclables.
