Solid Waste Characterization Data

The document presents data and calculations for characterizing solid waste types from a sample. A table shows the mass of empty trays, full trays, and waste for various materials including paper, garbage, plastic, non-ferrous metal, and glass. A calculation demonstrates how to determine the mass of waste by subtracting the empty tray mass from the full tray mass. A percentage is also calculated by dividing the mass of each waste type by the total mass of waste.
