MAIN ASPECTS
1. What are the sampling points? 2. How much sample required? 3. What are the sampling procedure / report?

Sampling Point
Waste as generated Produced from sources (including retained & discarded) Waste as discarded Placed at collection point to be collected Waste as disposed Collected from collection point to waste facilities Waste as retained Not discarded at the collection point & temporarily kept at premises (recycle / reuse)

Sampling Point
Factor taken into account:
Festival Nature (e.g: flood) Sampling area:
Nursery, grocery, caterer, household

Sample Required
http://www.surveysystem.com/sscalc.htm

Sampling Procedure

At household (waste as generated & as discarded)

Randomly row of houses determined for the waste as generated & waste as discarded in the study area; provided bags for sampling periods (e.g: Sunday to Saturday for 1 week)

At disposal site (waste as disposed)

Truck load (Full load or Cone & Quarter)

Sampling Procedure
0.8 m high uniformly waste pile (without the bulky item)

Removed two opposite quarter & repeat for the remaining two quarter until about 200 kg

Sorting & Reporting

Sorting: weighted 3 times & averaged Reporting:

Able to show waste flow (from generated to discarded & disposed) Show all 15 components of waste composition Proposed format for pre-study or any other data

Waste Components
15 Waste Compositions: 1) Food/organic waste 2) Papers 3) Tetrapek 4) Plastics film 5) Plastics rigid 6) Napkins 7) Textiles 8) Rubber 9) Leather 10) Wood 11) Garden 12) Glass 13) Metal 14) Household hazardous waste 15) Others Bulky Waste: 1) Furniture 2) E-waste 3) Garden 4) Other

Properties of waste
1) Physical Density, moisture, size Chemical Proximate (Moisture, VM, FC & Ash), Ultimate (C, H, O, N, S & Ash), Energy Content, Calorific Value, C/N Ratio Biological Water soluble constitutents, Hemicellulose, Cellulose, Fats, Lignin, Lignocellulose & Proteins

1.

How much waste you produced in a day? Value: Too low, too high ???? Differences ????? Reasons ?????? Specific event/birthday on the sampling day ??? What type of waste and the percentage? Bottle (????)is that the 16th waste category + few others new waste categories ????? Percentage: Any differences with common MSW categories ????? Recyclability of the waste? Statement: paper, glass, plastic can be recycled.do you even know what kind of papers, plastics or wastes that can be recycle ?????? Is that kind of waste existed in your sample ????? Any specific waste in your sample & can it be recycle ????? Can you possibly achieve 22% recycle rate with your waste ??????
