How will your university SPECIFICALLY measure the recyclables? Will you use volume based or actual weight measurements?:

Five Colleges Recycling will take a count of the number of bags and portion of wheeled 60-gallon carts removed from residence halls each week. The CURC 1997 standard for volume-weight conversion will be used to determine the number of pounds recycled per student.
