Of the 29 types of waste that you can track in Portfolio Manager, the following 8 do not have a standard weight volume-to-weight conversion factor associated with them, so EPA cannot calculate the weight based on your container size.
- Appliances
- Batteries
- Electronics
- Furniture
- Lamps/Light Bulbs
- Office Supplies
- Regulated Medical Waste
- Other
If you don’t have an actual weight for these materials, you will need to create an estimate when disposing them. This document may help you create an estimate: https://www.epa.gov/smm/volume-weight-conversion-factors-solid-waste
