SB 1383 Sampling Protocol—Tracy Material Recovery and Transfer Station <br /> Mixed Paper <br /> Mixed Paper is recovered from the recyclables processing line. Source separated blue can <br /> recyclable materials are collected via collection trucks and tipped in the designated franchise <br /> collection vehicles tipping area. Blue can materials are conveyed to the processing line. <br /> Mechanical and manual separation activities sort materials into separated recyclable materials. <br /> Mixed paper is sorted from the materials, baled and stored before export to market. <br /> Pursuant to 14 CCR 17409.5.4, on a quarterly basis material will be sampled for incompatible <br /> materials, on each day it is shipped, before being shipped off-site, within the 10-day sampling <br /> period. A bale of appropriate size is broken open. The material will be measured and weighed in <br /> accordance with this document. A representative sample of 200 pounds will be weighed. The <br /> sample will be sorted through to remove any incompatible materials. The sample is reweighed <br /> without the incompatibles. The two weights are used to calculate the ratio of mixed paper in <br /> the product being shipped off-site. Multiply the ratio by the amount of mixed paper being <br /> shipped off site to determine the total weight shipped for recycling. All results will be recorded, <br /> stored onsite and reported to the CalRecycle RDRS system. <br /> Cardboard <br /> Cardboard is recovered from the recyclables processing line.Source separated blue can materials <br /> are collected via collection trucks and tipped in the designated franchise collection vehicles <br /> tipping areas.
