solid waste generation study. The list of waste categories <br /> and types set forth in the ACT was used, though some waste <br /> types were eliminated since they were not found in the <br /> study. The methodology used and the results from the waste <br /> characterization study are presented in Appendix One. Data <br /> from the study were tabulated for each of the four sources <br /> of generation -- residential, commercial, industrial, and <br /> self-haul -- and then totaled to show the total waste <br /> stream. <br /> Table 2-1 is a compilation of the total waste stream. It <br /> includes the categories of residential, commercial, <br /> industrial and self-haul. It presents the percentages and <br /> annual quantities of various types and categories of waste <br /> found in the total waste disposal stream, a tons to cubic <br /> yard conversion factor, and the estimated annual volume of <br /> landfill space consumed by each waste type and category. <br /> Appendix One contains the tables for the various waste <br /> types and categories for each generation source. <br /> Chapter 2 Waste Generation 3 <br />
