== Assessing whether you are a materials facility ==
You are probably operating a MF under the regulations if:
 
* you receive [[waste]] material which is:
** prepared for [[Recycling|recycling]] or [[reuse]]
** includes sorting the waste material into specified output materials suppliers into commom bulked quantities.
 
You are '''not''' a MF if:
 
* only consolidate [[waste]] material from a single supplier into bulked outputs
* do not prepare the material for [[reuse]] or [[Recycling|recycing]]
