The detailed <br />composition protocol is included in Attachment i3. The protocol addresses the following= <br />M Planning & Equipment/Facilities Preparation; <br />■ Truck Weighing & Load Tipping 4perations; and <br />■ Sampling/Sorting Operations. <br />SampEing and Sorting E�ents <br />The sampling approach used to assess Ehe recyclable materials composition needed to include an <br />adeqtxate nvmber of representative samples to provide statistically meaningful results. In <br />adciition, this objective had to be balanced with the Cit�s time, labor, and budget constzaints. As <br />a resuit, three one-week sorting events were scheduled, one (in July) before the pilot collection <br />methods were introduced to residents, and two (in Septernber and October) after the pilot <br />collection methods were initiated. <br />Samples of recyclable materials, wei�hing at least two hundred pounds each consistent with <br />Aznerican Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards, were randomly selected from the <br />collection vehicles at the end of each collecEion day, {Details of the saia-kpling pracedvre are <br />discusseci in Attachment B.) The number af samples sorted, the total pounds sorted, and the <br />average poun.ds per sample froxn each collection method (single stream and dua� stream) are <br />shown below in Table 3. <br />O1-D0253-10I01-0101 � 07U001 � I3500 P:113500 Ramsey Co. 2003VtTAlRosevillc5�A1Bi544 - Fina1 Data Analysis <br />
