All outputs must be measured and recorded and includes all materals identified as target, non-target, non-recyclable and any other waste material.

The following information should be measured and recorded in each reporting period:

* the total weight in tonnes of waste material that has been identified and kept separate and will be transferred to another <abbr>MF</abbr> or person for the purpose of recycling or [[reuse]]

* the total weight in tonnes of waste material that has been identified and kept separate and will be transferred to another <abbr>MF</abbr> or person for the purpose of [[Recycling|recycling]] or [[reuse]]

* total weight in tonnes of specified output materials leaving the <abbr>MF</abbr> in the given reporting period

* the total weight in tonnes of all other material leaving the <abbr>MF</abbr> in the given reporting period

Reports must be submitted electronically to the [[Regulatory Authorities]] (in a form specified by them) within one month of the end of the reporting period which is:

The ~~reportsd~~ shlould include all relevant information about the materials facilities’ total incoming and outgoing waste material, suppliers and destinations as well as:

*1 January to 31 March

*1 April to 30 June

*1July - 30 September

*1 OCtober to 31 December

The reports shlould include all relevant information about the materials facilities’ total incoming and outgoing waste material, suppliers and destinations as well as:

* any samples you take for incoming and outgoing material in a reporting period, including the total number of samples taken for each supplier or each batch of specified output material

~~==Record Keeping and Reporting Requirements<ref name="WRAP" />==~~

~~The Regulations require reports to be submitted to the [[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.
