From 1st Oct 2016 a sample of ''Mixed Waste Material'' must be taken every 125 tonnes from each supplier. | From 1st Oct 2016 a sample of ''Mixed Waste Material'' must be taken every 125 tonnes from each supplier. | ||
==Materials to be sampled - Outgoing== | |||
Sampling of ''Specified Output Materials'' must be undertaken with consideration given to the grade of material output from the [[MRF|MF]]. Example grades might include clear PET bottles and green [[Glass|glass]]. The frequency of sampling is as follows<ref name="WRAP" />: | |||

==Sampling Planning== | |||
[[MRF|MFs]] should develop a quarterly plan for sampling of input materials from different suppliers and for ''Specified Output Materials'' based on the requirements set out in the Regulations. Sampling should be scheduled so it is as representative as possible i.e. arranging for the incoming material to be undertaken at different times and on different days and for ''Specified Output Material'', samples should be taken at different times and on different days as well as taken from all shifts including night and weekend shifts if possible <ref name="WRAP" />. | |||
==Record Keeping and Reporting Requirements<ref name="WRAP" />== | |||
The Regulations require reports to be submitted to the [[Regulatory Authority|Regulator]] every 3 months. The four reporting periods each year are: | |||
* 1 January to 31 March. Returns due by 30 April. | |||
* 1 April to 30 June. Returns due by 31 July. | |||
* 1 July to 30 September. Returns due by 31 October. | |||
* 1 October to 31 December. Returns due by 31 January | |||
Reports must be submitted to the [[Regulator]] electronically within one month of the end of the Reporting Period. | |||
For an incoming ''Mixed Waste Material'' the following information is required<ref name ="WRAP" />: | |||
*The total weight in tonnes of ''Mixed Waste Material'' received at the [[MRF|MF]] from each Supplier requiring sampling under the Regulations. | |||
* The total number of samples taken for each of these Suppliers. | |||
* The total weight in kilograms of all samples taken for each of these Suppliers. | |||
* The Average percentage composition of target [[Glass|glass]], [[Metal|metal]], [[Paper|paper]] and [[Plastic|plastic]] in ''Mixed Waste Material'' delivered by each of these Suppliers, based on all applicable sample results. | |||
* The Average percentage composition levels of [[Target Material]], [[Non-Target Material]] and Non-Recyclable Materials delivered by each of these Suppliers, based on all applicable sample results. | |||
* The standard deviation of the Average percentage composition level of Target Materials for each of these Suppliers, based on all applicable sample results. | |||
For outgoing material leaving the [[MRF|MF]] in a given Reporting Period the following infomation is required<ref name ="WRAP" />: | |||
* The total weight in tonnes of each ''Specified Output Material'' that leaves the [[MRF|MF]] | |||
* The total weight in tonnes of ''Mixed Waste Material'' transferred to other [[MRF|MFs]] for the purposes of separating into ''Specified Output Materials'' and the destination of each [[MRF|MF]] transfer. | |||
* The total weight in tonnes of all other waste that leaves the MRF|MF]] and details of where it has been sent. | |||
* The total number of samples taken for each ''Specified Output Materia''l. | |||
* The total weight in kilograms of all samples taken for each ''Specified Output Material''. | |||
* The Average percentage of all samples by reference to grades of [[glass|glass]], [[Metal|metal]], [[Paper|paper]] and [[Plastic|plastic]] | |||
* The Average percentage of [[Target Materials]], [[Non-Target Materials]] and Non-Recyclable materials by grades of [[Glass|glass]], [[Metal|metal]], [[Paper|paper]] or [[Plastic|plastic]] in the samples | |||
* The standard deviation of the Average percentage composition levels for the [[Target Materials]], based on all of the applicable sample results. | |||
