Using Volume-to-Weight Conversion

As we did for Recyclemania last year, per conversations wih Ed Newman and crew, we are going to be calculating our stats based on our monthly trend report, and will be beginning our competition on January 1st in order to be able to provide all the stats needed for the 10 week competition period. We do not receive our stats from our contractors until after the end of the month. We will be using a combination of actual and volume-to-weight conversion. For our outdoor recycling and cardboard stats, we will be using actual weights, while our indoor recycling and food waste stats are volume-to-weight conversion.
