(2) Step 3. A collection card is filled out by the truck driver for each refuse container collected during a collection run.

(c)

-

Building Number according to method approved by survey
supervisor.

(f) Load Type -- circle number which corresponds to the predominant refuse type in the container; if none can be determined, circle mixed refuse. Unusual waste materials included in an otherwise homogeneous waste load shall be noted under the "other"

category (e.g., motor block in a container full of wood scraps would be reported as a load type 2, 8-motor block).

(g) Load Volume -- circle number which best approximates the volume of waste in a container. The "no load" category is used only when investigating the waste production of a particular building or group of buildings. All conditions must be reported.

(h) Weather -- circle number which best describes the predominating weather for the run. Intermittent drizzle or snow flurries shall be reported as "dry."

(3) Step 4. A weigh card is filled out by the truck driver at the end of each trip to the landfill or incinerator. The survey supervisor will arrange for the scale operator to fill out similar weigh cards on all non-scheduled truck loads arriving at the landfill. The survey supervisor will collect information on truck capacities and composition ratios. Each collection truck driver will supply the following information on the weigh cards:

according to the method approved by the

(c) Run Number circle number which corresponds to the number of loads for that day.

(d) Loaded Weight the weigh master or truck scale operator will supply the loaded weight values to be entered in this blank.

(e) Load Type

-

circle the numbers of the major components of the load and visually estimate the volume percentage of all load

types composing over 20 percent of the load. The mixed refuse category shall be used when no predominating load types can be identified.

(f) Load Volume

circle the number which best approximates the volume of the load in the truck. "No load" is used to record the empty weight of the truck and driver.

(g) Weather -- circle the number which best describes the

predominating weather for the run.

Intermittent drizzle or

snow flurries shall be reported as "dry."

(h) After the weigh card is completed, the driver initials the bottom line and bands together that run's weigh card with the appropriate collection cards. At the end of the day, the driver turns in that day's information card bundles to his route supervisor who forwards the material to the survey supervisor.

b. Single Waste Stream Analysis, Step 5. Sort the collection cards by building number(s) and place them in chronological order. The loose yardage volume generated between collections is determined by multiplying the can size by the percentage of load volume. An approximate value of the collected weight is determined by multiplying the loose yardage volume by the appropriate bulk density values. Composition of the single waste stream is determined from the "Load Type" section on the collection card, or by using composition percentages. If a collection run is confined to a particular facility grouping (as family housing), the appropriate weigh card can be isolated and used to provide weight, volume and composition information.

(1) Step 6. The volume and weight estimates, derived from the analysis of the collection cards in Step 5, are summed over all the "single waste streams" to provide total weight and volume estimates on the collection points. Sum the net weights (loaded weight minus no load) from the weigh cards to arrive at the total collected weight. The loose yardage volume of each compactor truck is determined by multiplying the compactor's capacity by the load volume (percent) and the compaction ratio. Multiply non-compactor truck capacities by the load volume (percent). Sum the calculated volumes of all collection runs to determine the total volume. The bulk density of each collection run, or total installation waste, can be determined by dividing the net weight by the loose-cubic-yard volume. "Composition" information can be obtained from weigh cards by converting load type volumes to load type weights, and dividing by the sum of the adjusted refuse weights for all collection trucks. Load type weight is determined by multiplying load type volume by the appropriate load type bulk densities. Component weights of the solid waste materials can also be derived by multiplying the total weight by the installation composition percentages.

(2) Step 7. As a check on the survey operation, make preliminary calculations of the weights and volumes (as per Steps 5 and 6), using data from the first two days of the survey, and compare the estimates
