Municipal solid waste characteristics (incl. density)
Municipal solid waste characteristics (incl. density)
(OP)
Does anyone have a suggestion on where I could find information on average municipal solid waste characteristics? I've downloaded the the USEPA 1960-2005 MSW Characteristics Report, but several key pages are corrupted, so I'm not sure if has what I'm looking for.
First and foremost, I'm looking for MSW density so that I can estimate the tonnage of waste in waste collection containers.

These rules of thumb help, but it would be good for me to locate a "citeable" source.
Thanks for your help.

I am surprised EPA has not already addressed this. You may end up having to have the municipality obtain real data from its own solid waste containers if they will not accept data from "un-citeable" sources.
