*The Property Type setting on a location controls how pickup weights are estimated.  Each material type (trash, recycling, etc.) has separate pounds-per-yard conversion factors for commercial vs. multi-family properties. Waste density norms differ between the two, so Discovery uses the appropriate factor when estimating pickup weights from container size and fullness. Choosing the wrong type will produce inaccurate weight estimates.
