Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

This is a difficult number to get from our waste hauler - Waste Management. They only provide us with the frequency of pickups and the volume of the containers they dump. They will not give us physical weights - only estimates - so we have no good way of actually tracking the effects of our efforts.
