Notes: Oahu recycling data were not collected for 1989 and 1990.   Construction and demolition materials recycling may fluctuate based on the volume and type of construction projects undertaken from year to year. The 1.5 million ton baseline was established to measure year to year progress. Actual waste generation fluctuates annually.
