On Wed., Feb. 18, Sharon Gates asked for an estimate
for the weight (in pounds) of a cubic yard of grass clippings.
According to Cornell University researchers, green grass
loose has a typical density of 300-400 lbs./cu. yd., and
green grass compacted is 500-800 lbs./cu.yd.

Regarding the weight of grass clippings - the Minnesota Office of
Environmental Assistance publishes a list of volume-to-weight
conversions in their annual SCORE report. The latest information I have
estimates that one yard of raw, uncompacted yard waste (for composting
or land application) weighs 350 pounds. The sources for this conversion
list include the National Recycling Coalition Measurement Standards &
Reporting Guidelines, and OEA staff calculations with input from
industry. Hope this is helpful!

Subject: Chip Mill Denied
CHIP MILL DENIED: A 2/12 Arkansas Public Policy Panel alert
reported
the Russellville City Council voted 5-3 to deny Weyerhaeuser a
business
license for a chip mill proposed for the Arkansas River. The
council's
decision was influenced by citizen concerns regarding traffic,
noise
and impacts to tourism in the region. Weyerhaeuser had already
received a permit for an export facility from the US Army Corps
of
Engineers. Despite the Council meeting being "stacked with
timber
industry employees" and a "polished presentation" from
Weyerhaeuser,
the "vote had already been decided thanks to an educated and
empowered
public speaking their minds." The APPP works with a coalition
of 58
citizen groups, including the Arkansas Watershed Alliance and
the
Dogwood Alliance.

Dear Jesse:
In response to your Feb. 10, 1998 e-mail request on CD-ROM
recycling I am
forwarding a copy of an earlier message I sent to Tara Pike when
she made a
similar information request to the GreenYes list. You may also
wish to
contact Tara regarding her current progress on this issue.

>>Dear Tara:
>>
>>If I'm not mistaken, compact disks are made with a
polycarbonate(PC) resin
with one metalicized surface for the digital coding that is read
by the
laser. I believe its this metalic coating that makes CD's hard
to recycle.
My suggestions are as follows:
>>
>>1. Try consulting a copy of Resource Recycling's Directory of
North
American Scrap Plastics Processors and Buyers. This directory
lists
companies by resin handled, geographic location and company
name. I would
call all companies that are listed as handling PC that are
located in the
Western U.S. (there are no listings for Nevada). Call Resource
Recycling at
503-227-1319 for information on this Directory.
>>
>>2. I would also call GreenDisk. Their tel.# is 206-222-7734.
They
manufacture recycled computer disks but they also provide
software media
recycling services. These services are primarily oriented to
software
manufacturers but according to Greendisk they are available (at
a cost) to
other organizations that generate waste data media. Perhaps as
a way to
improve the economics, you may want to find out if there are
other
organizations in your region that also dispose large numbers of
CD's For
example, university libraries may be a prime candidate since
many now
maintain searchable CD based databases that are periodically
updated.
Federal and state agencies may be another possible source.
GreenDisk's web
site is www.greendisk.com
>>
>>Hope this helps. Let the list know how you resolved (or did
not resolve)
this situation.

Subject: Weight of grass clippings
I am trying to get an estimage for the weight (in pounds) of a
cubic
yard of grass clippings. I realize that the weight is very
dependent on
moisture content and the weight of fresh clippings will be much
greater
than clippings that have had a day or two to dry out. Be that
as it
may, does anyone have a poundage estimate?
Thanks for your help,

I am working with a public housing development in Boston interested in
developing a recycling program. I am curious if there are
strategies/models utilized elsewhere that have proven successful or
complete disasters.
Thank you.

Dear Sharon:
As you said, the weight is highly dependent upon moisure content, but I've
seen a figure of 400-450/lbs per cu. yd. (uncompacted). That would probably
be fairly fresh grass given that that's about the same range for glass
bottles and computer paper.
Good Luck.

Hi, Sharon,
The figures I have are that 1,000 sq.ft. of turf generates aprx.
300 pounds of grass/yr. I haven't calculated that in cubic
yards, though. Trevor O'Shaughnessy at CIWMB provided these
numbers to me, and he may have additional info you can use. His
phone (last time I called!) was 916-255-2624.
