Data reported will come from Exclusively Volume-to-Weight Estimates.

Custodial staff in residence halls remove full containers from floors/lobbies and complete a summary card listing the number of containers of each commodity and how full each container was which is sent to me. I utilize our volume to weight figures to calculate the total weight of recyclables for the week.
