On a demo project where material was brought to multiple recycling centers, some of the recyclers gave me both net and gross tonnage, and some only gave me pounds, which i converted to net tonnage. My question is should i be using the gross tons weight where i have it and use the net tonnage where i dont have gross tonnage info?

Your units must be consistent. I am assuming that gross tonnage includes the weight of the bin in which case you should be using the net tonnage.

Hi Christine - I agree with Scott. You need to be reporting your information in consistent units and you care about the actual materials weight, which I assume to be net tonnage.
