Recyclable Materials Composition Protocol <br />SamplinglSorting Qperations <br />1. Set Up Sorting Station <br />■ Set up platform scale in nearby location away from vehicle and sorter traffic <br />lanes. <br />■ Set up sorting table(s). <br />■ Place 4 to 6 p�astic 55-gallon dnims near Ehe sorting table. <br />11 Circle the sorting area with up to about fifteen (15), 90-gallon carts and <br />appropriate number of 18-gallon zecycling bins for smaller categories, {e_g. <br />`P']astic �ilxri;and"�ther TrasH�. <br />� Place sort boards (to be provided by Dan Krivit) on or near each cart to <br />distinguish the category for that cart (or carts). <br />� Assure sort crew has ali necessary safety equipment. <br />2. Establish Sor� CrewAssignments <br />■ One (1) crew leader/da#a manager (keeper of the clipboard}. <br />■ One (1) assistant crew leader, reader of the scale for cart weights and empty cart <br />tare weights. <br />■ Two (2) to three (3) sorters/laborers. <br />3. Random Selec�ion of Samples <br />The Project Teaxn recomm�nds the following procedure for random sampling: <br />l.. Visually divide each sample load into ].6 cells after 1:he load is #ipped onto the <br />ground. Once tipped, fihe ioads tend to be dislributed in an elongated <br />configuration sitnzlar to that sbown in Figure 1 below. <br />H�s�a R. W, Beck B-3 <br />
