Short answer: Log each haul ticket, mark it landfilled, recycled, or reused, and the log keeps your running diversion rate against your target. California's CALGreen code sets that target at 65% for new construction and many additions and alterations.

It is the share of a project’s construction and demolition debris, by weight, that is recycled, reused, or salvaged instead of landfilled. Diverted tons divided by total tons hauled, times 100.
California’s Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) requires covered new construction, and many additions and alterations, to divert at least 65% of nonhazardous construction and demolition waste (sections 4.408.1 residential, 5.408.1 nonresidential), and lets the local enforcing agency require a waste management plan and documentation. Demolition-only permits fall outside CALGreen, though local ordinances can still apply. Code editions change, so confirm the current requirement with your building department.
Usually the weight tickets or receipts from each facility, showing date, material, tons, and whether the load was recycled or landfilled. Many building departments ask for a summary report at final inspection. This log gives you a running total and a CSV you can attach.
Only if the facility that receives it sorts and recycles it, and can certify a diversion rate. Ask the facility or your hauler for its certified recovery rate, and record mixed loads as landfilled unless you have that documentation.
