Records document daily counts of polystyrene bags collected at the Degraves Street Recycling Facility in 2016. Each collected bag weighs approximately 6.45 kilograms. The dataset is provided by the City of Melbourne Open Data.
Use Cases
- Analyze daily collection trends of polystyrene bags to identify seasonal waste generation patterns.
- Estimate total polystyrene weight processed by converting bag counts using the 6.45-kilogram per bag standard.
- Model facility throughput by correlating daily bag collection data with operational schedules.
Strengths
- Data is sourced from an official municipal recycling facility operation.
- Each data point includes a defined weight conversion of 6.45 kilograms per bag.
- Dataset is provided under a permissive CC-BY license.
Limitations
- Dataset scope is limited to a single facility and a single year (2016).
- The total number of daily records (rows) is unknown, limiting assessment of temporal coverage.
