[GreenYes] Conversion Factor for Mixed Containers...

[<Christine.McCoy@no.address>]

OK folks I found a conversion number for single stream recyclables:

1 cubic yard = 250 lbs

The last thing I need is a number for mixed food and beverage containers 
(ie., commingled plastic, glass, aluminum and steel). Anyone?  I know that 
it will vary, I just need an average.

I check EPA and CIWMB figures and this seems to be the only one that I'm 
missing.

Anything that you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much,
