I found this document which is a good start. There are no universally correct conversion factors for waste - what is most important is that year on year the same conversion factors are used. General Waste The most popular volume to weight conversion factor, and that used for the waste mapping exercise, is the industry standard: l 40 kg per cubic metre There were concerns however that, because this is an industry standard across all sectors from catering to construction, it may prove too heavy for FHEI use. Recent analysis of 6 months* pay-by-weight data from Leeds Metropolitan and Bradford for their general waste has revealed that the average weight disposed of from 1100 litre bins is 45.77 kg. This equates to 41 kg per cubic meter for HE general waste (generally excluding paper and card). Therefore it would seem based on initial data, that the industry standard is acceptable for estimating the majority of general waste streams in the sector.
