This chart shows weight per cent composition grouped by proper disposal location.

This dataset is for garbage bin waste from the Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional (ICI) sector. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is used to categorize ICI businesses and organizations into sub-sectors for ease of data collection and reporting. The NAICS sub-sectors included in this study are: Accommodation and Food Services (NAICS code 72), Retail Trade (44-45), Manufacturing (31-33), Health Care and Social Assistance (62), and Public Administration (91). All businesses and organizations included in the study were customers of The City’s Commercial Collections service, except for one privately-serviced customer in the Accommodation and Food Services sub-sector that was added to provide better sector representation. A total of 115 samples are included in the dataset: 30 in Accommodation and Food Services, 35 in Retail Trade, 17 in Manufacturing, 25 in Health Care and Social Assistance, and 8 in Public Administration. The weight per cent for each sub-sector is the pooled average of samples collected in the four seasons of 2019.

Waste Composition studies are periodically conducted by Waste and Recycling Services to help assess the performance of diversion and education programs and inform improvements and new program design.

The Impervious Surface - 2010 layer contains polygon features generated from the 2010 Digital Aerial Survey mapping line work. The Impervious Surface layer features represent the various impervious surface types found within The City of Calgary. These features are classified by surface type and description based on the classification and specifications used in the Digital Aerial Survey Program. Additional higher level general surface type classification and referencing to the Alberta Township System (ATS) has been applied to each impervious surface layer feature.

Waste Composition studies are periodically conducted by Waste and Recycling Services to help assess the performance of diversion and education programs and inform improvements and new program design. This dataset is for Black Cart waste from residential dwellings, and represents the pooled average of samples of 20-25 residences collected in 18 communities in each of the four seasons of 2019 (72 samples). The communities sampled were selected to collectively represent the range of housing types and demographics in Calgary. The weight per cent composition is provided for a number of material categories and subcategories.

The Calgary Equity Index is a decision-making tool designed to measure equity in Calgary, based on a social determinant of health (SDOH) framework. The SDOH are the range of interacting social and economic conditions that influence people’s health and well-being. This index provides an equity lens to examine the ways in which social and economic conditions are experienced and distributed among populations. It will help the City examine where inequities exist in different areas. Information is available for 113 Community Service Areas (CSAs) across Calgary. The CSAs were created by combining two adjacent Census Tracts to reach a population of around 10,000. The CSAs are numbered from 1 to 113, and are displayed on the map.

The Impervious Surface - 1995 layer contains polygon features generated from the 1995 through 1998 Digital Aerial Survey mapping line work. The use of multiple years of DAS updates best reflects the impervious layer as it was in 1995.The Impervious Surface layer features represent the various impervious surface types found within The City of Calgary. These features are classified by surface type and description based on the classifications and specifications used in the Digital Aerial Survey Program.

The Forward Sortation Area Boundary File depicts the boundaries of forward sortation areas (FSAs) derived from postal codes captured from federal census questionnaires. This is based on census dissemination areas. The file is periodically updated, following the federal census which is currently mandated every 5 years (2011, 2016, 2021...).
