class=840502822-10042007>Based on data from pilot collections in Maine and the
Bay Area, I estimated 18-35% by weight of liquids/gels/ointments in their
packaging. Compared to pills, they are infrequently seen, but because they
have a much higher density, the proportion by weight ends up fairly
significant. After doing cursory screenings of waste in our PH:ARM pilot,
it looks like waste we are receiving has roughly the same proportions.
