THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO MEASURE MUNICIPAL PROGRAM PERFORMANCE IN YOUR JURISDICTION

The Extended Government Data Management Plan (XGDMP) provides government agencies with all the features and functionality available in the Government Data Management Plan (GDMP) plus the ability to add additional survey(s) to collect supplementary information from the municipalities in their jurisdiction.

  • Monitor

    Keep an eye on your municipalities' progress towards completing the program assessment surveys.

  • Manage

    Review program assessment survey responses to flag any inconsistencies and communicate directly with municipalities to correct any discrepancies.

  • Motivate

    Get your municipalities excited about the MMP by promoting the benefits of participation. The XGDMP includes a promo kit to help you get the word out.

BEST PRACTICE REPORTS

The Extended Government Data Management Plan offers a robust suite of program performance reports that transform municipal program data into valuable insights about your jurisdiction's overall waste diversion performance.


Annual Trend

Monitor your jurisdiction's annual performance metrics to analyze trends and identify opportunities to make program adjustments.

GDMP - Annual Trend

Annual Diversion Rate

Calculate the diversion rate for all municipal programs or by individual programs operating in your jurisdiction. Dig further into the data by analyzing the minimum, maximum, median, and average diversion rates, tons diverted, and tons disposed.

GDMP - Diversion Rate

Annual Tonnage By Program

Measure the total tons of recycling, municipal solid waste (MSW), and organics captured by all municipal programs in your jurisdiction or select a program to analyze detailed tonnage information.

Put the data to work by analyzing minimum, maximum, average, and median values for the tons of single-family recycling, multi-family recycling, MSW, and organics.

Pie chart of 2019 annual tonnage by program: recycling 44.92%, municipal solid waste 46.82% and organics 8.25%

The Economic Benefits of Recycling

Calculate the economic impact of the recycling programs in your jurisdiction by converting tonnage information into insights about estimated job creation, attributable wages, and tax revenue. This report is based on the Recycling Economic Information (REI) Report developed by the U.S. EPA.

GDMP Economic Benefits

Total Lbs Per Household By Residential Curbside Programs

Normalize your analysis by measuring the pounds per household disposed, recycled, and composted in your jurisdiction.

GDMP Pounds Per Household

Average Lbs Per Household Benchmark

Compare your jurisdiction's per household recycling performance to the U.S. national average.

Pounds per Household Benchmarking Report

Recommendations Summary

Municipalities participating in the MMP can generate a report to view a set of program recommendations tailored specifically to their community.

The Recommendations Summary summarizes the number of times each program recommendation has been presented to municipalities in your jurisdiction so you can help them address common challenges.

Recommendations Summary

Environmental Benefits

Based on the EPA’s WARM model, this report converts reductions in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2E) into everyday terms such as gallons of gas conserved.

Environmental benefits: 27,192 tons diverted, 23,943 tons disposed and 39,229 MTCO2E, equal to 8 wind turbines running for one year

Per Capita Annual Tonnage

Analyze the pounds of waste, recycling, and organics generated per resident in your jurisdiction.

GDMP - Per Capita Tonnage

Drop-Off Sites by Materials Accepted

Gain insights into the mix of material types accepted by the drop-off sites operated by the municipalities in your jurisdiction.

Drop-Off Sites by Materials Accepted

Staffed vs. Non-Staffed Drop-off Sites

Generate this report to calculate the total number of staffed and non-staffed drop-off sites in your jurisdiction.

Pie chart of staffed and unstaffed drop-off sites in 2018: 8 staffed (25%) and 24 unstaffed (75%)

Performance Summary

See your jurisdiction's municipal program performance metrics summarized in one report.

Performance summary: 17,047 total recycling tons, 13,481 total MSW tons and 4,220 total organics tons

Program Analysis

Generate this powerful report to take a deep dive into the MMP data and supplementary data collected in your jurisdiction. Advanced filtering options provide increased flexibility to analyze the data in a multitude of ways.

For example, use this report to create a tabular listing of all responses to a single question in a single survey for a given time frame. Alternatively, apply filters to calculate the number times that municipalities have provided given responses to a given question over a given time frame.

Economic benefits: 43 estimated jobs, $2,067,442 in wages and $383,441 in tax revenue

Build a Report

Design a report to analyze supplementary information collected via the XGDMP survey(s).
