Recyclable Materials Composition Protocol <br />Sampling /Sorting Operations <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 plastic 55- gallon drums near the sorting table. <br />■ Circle the sorting area with up to about fifteen (15), 90- gallon carts and <br />appropriate number of 18- gallon recycling bins for smaller categories, (e.g. <br />"Plastic Film ", and "Other 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 all necessary safety equipment. <br />2. Establish Sort Crew Assignments <br />• One (1) crew leader /data 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 Selection of Samples <br />The Project Team recommends the following procedure for random sampling: <br />1. Visually divide each sample load into 16 cells after the load is tipped onto the <br />ground. Once tipped, the loads tend to be distributed in an elongated <br />configuration similar to that shown in Figure 1 below. <br />B1605 3 <br />
