<br />Recyclable Materials Composition Protocol <br /> <br />Sampling/Sorting Operations <br /> <br />1. Set Up Sorting Station <br /> <br />. Set up platform scale in nearby location away from vehicle and sorter traffic <br />lanes. <br /> <br />. Set up s011ing table(s). <br /> <br />. Place 4 to 6 plastic 55-gallon drums near the sorting table. <br /> <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 Filnl', and "Other TrasH). <br /> <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 /> <br />. Assure sort crew has all necessary safety equipment. <br /> <br />2. Establish Sort Crew Assignments <br />. One (I) crew leader/data manager (keeper of the clipboard). <br />. One (I) 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 /> <br />3. Random Selection of Samples <br /> <br />The Project Team recommends the following procedure for random sampling: <br /> <br />I. 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 I below. <br /> <br />B1544 <br /> <br />R. W. Beck B-3 <br />
