The District realizes that industrial businesses may recycle cardboard but may not have actual weights of the
cardboard based on the style of service provided (dumpster service). The District has provided the following
table to document the amount of cardboard recycled annually. Simply fill in the size of your dumpster (2, 4, 6,
8 or 10 cubic yard), how full it is when picked up on average (as a percentage) and the number of times the
dumpster is emptied each week. Then use the formula in the table below to calculate your annual tonnage of
cardboard. An example is given to assist you in the calculation. If you have additional dumpsters, simply
perform the same exercise for each separate dumpster. The total tons recycled can then be transferred to the
cardboard total in Table 1.
