Arlington Recycling: 2.8 TCR = 108% of Materials recovery facilities (MRF) BLS 2.6 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Arlington Recycling safety composite

Arlington Recycling scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 11%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
