CALCULATION OF AVERAGE MONTHLY WASTE

BY VOLUME

STEP ONE: CONVERT NUMBER OF BAGS, DUMPSTERS, & BUNDLES COLLECTED DURING SURVEY

PERIOD INTO CUBIC YARDS:

Enter the number of Bags (80% Full) :

Enter the number of Dumpsters (100% Full):

_____ 22B ÷ 11.48 bags per cubic yard = _____ cubic yards

_____ x 1/2 Y = _____ cubic yards

_____ x 1Y = _____ cubic yards

_____ 30B ÷ 8.42 bags per cubic yard = _____ cubic yards

_____ x 2Y = _____ cubic yards

_____ 45B ÷ 5.61 bags per cubic yard = _____ cubic yards

_____ 50B ÷ 5.05 bags per cubic yard = _____ cubic yards

Total Cubic Yards From Dumpsters = ____

_____ 55B ÷ 4.59 bags per cubic yard = _____ cubic yards

(Note: 202 gallons = 1 cubic yard)

Total Cubic Yards From Bags = _____

BUNDLES (Cardboard & Other Odd-Shaped Items) in inches:

____H x ____W x ____ L = _____ multiplied by # of bundles ____ and divided by 46,656 = _____ cubic yards

____H x ____W x ____L = _____ multiplied by # of bundles ____ and divided by 46,656 = _____ cubic yards

Total Cubic Yards From Bundles = _____

STEP TWO: SUM UP ALL UNIT TOTALS FOR SURVEY PERIOD:

Cubic Yards From Bags + Cubic Yards From Dumpsters + Cubic Yard From Bundles = _______ (Grand Total Cubic Yards

For Survey Period)

STEP THREE : CALCULATE CUBIC YARDS PER MONTH:

AVERAGE CUBIC YARDS PER MONTH _________

Take Grand Total Cubic Yards For Survey Period _________ divided by ______ number of collections during survey and

multiplied by ______ number of scheduled collections per month will give the average cubic yards of waste per month the

carting company will collected from your business.

CALCULATION OF AVERAGE MONTHLY WASTE BY WEIGHT

STEP ONE: ADD UP ALL THE WEIGHT FOR SURVEY PERIOD

STEP TWO: CALCULATE AVERAGE WEIGHT YARDS PER MONTH:

AVERAGE WEIGHT PER MONTH _________

Take Grand Total Weight Per Month from the survey ___________ divided by ______ number of collections during survey

period and multiplied by _______ number of scheduled collections per month will give the average weight of waste per

month the carting company will collect from your business.
