# New ARF Report: Zero Waste Programs — Analysis of Performance Data

![COVER-Biocycle](https://hub.swana.org/hubfs/ARF-ES/COVER-Biocycle.jpg "COVER-Biocycle")

## SWANA’s Applied Research Foundation (ARF) report examines the impact of recycling on municipal solid waste disposal in Seattle, WA

This report provides an in-depth analysis of the impacts of Seattle’s zero waste program initiatives on the total and per-capita recycling and disposal rates being achieved for the city’s four primary waste generation groups:

- Single family households
- Multi-family households
- Businesses
- Waste self-haulers

SWANA hopes that the data and analyses presented in this report can be of use to zero waste planners and system managers in the development of highly effective zero waste systems like those that have been developed in cities like Seattle, San Francisco, and San Jose.

The full report, [*Zero Waste Programs: An Analysis of Seattle’s Performance Data*](https://store.swana.org/store/detail.aspx?id=ARF24ZEROWASTE) is now available to SWANA members free of charge and to non-members for a fee.
