Wet Waste is associated more with Food
Prep, Food Service and/or Restaurant type facilities where the percentage of wet
waste is higher than normal (Of course, the degree of how wet the waste is
depends upon the overall amount of other trash that is being mixed in with the
wet waste which helps to neutralize the liquid content or ratio).
