Answer by Ask Swami
My rough guesstimate for our weekly household trash would be approximately 40% paper, 20% plastics, 10% glass, 5% metal, maybe only 1 or 2 percent actual food scraps at the most and the rest is misc. materials like styrofoam, batteries, and other household junk, gunk and various waste.
