Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get some good numbers for avg. weights of recycled materials.=

I need to convert material collected in cubic yards (loose) into pounds. =
I
found a list that gave me avg. numbers for OCC, glass, HDPE, magazines,
paper, and steel cans but I need more than that. Does anybody have a good
list that I could look at? Thanks.
