Table 2-2 is a frequency distribution of the percentages of
<br /> the various waste types. The first column lists the waste
<br /> types, arranged in descending order, from the most frequently
<br /> occurring to the least frequently occurring. The second column
<br /> lists the annual quantity of the waste types in tons. The third
<br /> column indicates the percentages of the total waste stream for
<br /> each of the waste types. The fourth column indicates cumulative
<br /> tons. The fifth column indicates the cumulative percentages of
<br /> the total waste stream.
