Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Data come from two different companies - Royal Corporation and Waxie Sanitary Supply. They both provide cleaning and janitorial paper products to UCLA. The June 2022 through May 2023 data consist of products from Royal, while the May 2022 through May 2023 timeframe represents Waxie data. This latter set of data has been adjusted to proportionally match that of the former, i.e. one month of Waxie data have been subtracted.
