Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
PSU's hauler does not provide actual weight of materials. All data are the result of driver estimates of container fullness. Volume to weight conversions are based on a 2005 study.
Baseline year - FY2005 (source: Sarah Keirns' thesis data)
Performance year - FY2010
Recycled includes:
Commingle (PSU Mix, Com Mix, Scrap Metal, Misc Fiber, rigid plastics, MISC)
