| ==Materials to be sampled - Incoming==
| |
| Incoming mixed waste material must be sampled to identify [[Target Material]], Non-Recyclable Material and [[Non-Target Material]]. The [[Target Material]] must as a minimum be separately identified by reference to [[Glass|glass]], [[Metal|metal]], [[Paper|paper]] and [[Plastic|plastic]]. Cardboard and cartons that include cardboard as a composite material should be included in the [[Paper|paper]] category.

| From 1st Oct 2016 a sample of ''Mixed Waste Material'' must be taken every 125 tonnes from each supplier.

|
| |
| The minimum required sample weight for ''Mixed Waste Material'' inputs is 55kg and the average weight of all samples of ''Mixed Waste Material'' in a reporting period must be 60kg or more. A full sample must be collected in one go and it is not acceptable to take smaller sample sizes at more regular intervals in order to collect a sample<ref name ="WRAP" />.
