7,200 lbs * 30% of total waste = 2,160 lbs/week = 1 ton of food waste in one week. Note: The equation based on weight of disposed waste (above) assumes a weight of 450 lbs/yd3 for mixed commercial waste materials.f you have 84 beds, then: 3.42 lbs/bed/day * 84 beds = 287 lbs/day. 287 lbs/day * 7 days/week = 2,009 lbs/week = 1 ton of food waste per week. 1 This metric uses beds as a proxy to account for all food waste generated across the hospital by patients, staff, and visitors.
