Downstate 2016 Waste Composition Study: Excel results files - updated June 20, 2018
3
This is one of a series of files giving detailed results of the waste composition study
4
"Downstate" includes all of Oregon except the Metro Tri-County Area
5
Results are given in a series of sheets or tabs. This file contains the following tabs:
6
F16DWNDownstate All Substreams
7
F16DWN-ALLDownstate All Substreams and single material additions/subtractions - see row 38
8
F16DWNRESDownstate Residential Route Trucks
9
F16DWNCOMDownstate Commercial Route Trucks
10
F16DWNMIXDownstate Mixed Route Trucks
11
F16DWNROCDownstate Compacting Drop Boxes
12
F16DWNRODDownstate Loose Drop Boxes
13
F16DWNSHRDownstate Self Haul
14
F16DWNMRFDownstate Mixed Waste Processing Residue
15
F16DWNSPSDownstate Special Purpose Landfill
16
F16DWNCDownstate Cold Seasons (October - March)
17
F16DWNWDownstate Warm Seasons (April - September)

Each of these separate tabs contains the following columns:
20
A: MaterialMaterial name (or group of materials)
21
B: Field ResultsComposition percent for this material as measured in the field
22
D: Contam. CorrectedComposition based on 'clean/dry' correction for each material
23
F: CleanTons
Total tons disposed (Contam. Corrected percent multiplied by total substream tons)
24
H: # Present/# SamplesNumber of samples where the material was present/Total samples
25
I: % PresentPercent of samples where the material was present
26
27
Subsequent columns give the confidence interval information from columns C, E, and G, formatted
28
as numbers rather than text.

30
For comparisons to waste composition studies outside of Oregon, use the field results, as few other studies
31
measure contamination levels of their sorted wastes.
32
33
Explanation of material name formatting:
34
Material group names in bold are sums of some of the individual materials below
35
Material group names in italics are recombination of some of the individual materials above.
36
Materials that are neither bold nor italics are the individual materials sorted and measured in the field.
37
38
F16DWN-ALL includes some additional solid wastes that were not sampled in the study but are reported separately, such as pure loads of tires, gypsum wallboard, and medical waste
39
F16DWN-ALL also includes subtractions for material separated from mixed waste at Metro-area transfer stations after we pulled our samples, and for scrap metal
40
recovered from burner ash at the Covanta Energy Recovery Facility in Marion County
41
Columns include:
42
B: Clean Tons: same as column F in F16DWN
43
C: Material not sampled, including tires, gypsum, and medical waste, or subtractions for estimates of materials separated from mixed waste or burner ash at Metro transfer stations or the energy recovery facility
44
D: Sum of columns B, C
45
F: Contam. Corrected tons: Clean/Dry tons same as column D of F16DWN
46
G: Composition of "Clean/Dry" tons adjusted for single material
47
I: Field Percent: Composition as measured in the field same as column B of F16DWN
48
J: Field Percent adjusted for single material.
