EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A waste generation and characterisation study has been undertaken for the Western Corridor Project in Belize,

considering the four municipalities of Belize City, San Ignacio / Santa Elena, San Pedro and Caye Caulker.

The results for the waste generation per capita and day can be summarized in an aggregated figure, which is

1.07kg/cap*day. This figure can be used for calculating the waste generation in Belize by means of the following

structure:

Business/Commercial

Waste Component

31.8%

Residential Waste

Component

63.8%

Institutional Component

4.5%

Fig. E-1: Composition of Waste Generation Rate

The overall waste density is mainly affected by a very low waste density in Belize City, which results in an aver-

age figure of 139 kg per m³ of waste - or vice versa: A volume of 7.2m³ per ton of waste. This statement entices

strongly into the idea of waste compaction in order to reach a reasonable level of transport costs for the envis-

aged waste transfer concept with the Mile 24 Sanitary Landfill.

The waste composition for the project area is as presented in the following figure and shows a high portion of

biodegradable and organic fractions, followed by plastics and paper.

The measured figures have been used to project the expected waste for the Western Corridor Project under the

consideration that the waste generation rate per capita and day will increase by 0.5% per year. The annual

amount will almost double from currently 51,000 short tons to 104,000 short tons per year within the next 20

years.

1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Government of Belize (GoB) is currently implementing the Belize Western Corridor Solid Waste Management

Project via the Solid Waste Management Authority (SWaMA).

In order to provide substantial information for the proper implementation of the scheduled solid waste systems

and infrastructure investments, a study was engaged to justify the waste amounts produced in Belize and spe-

cifically in the four municipalities of the Western Corridor. This study investigates the waste generation per capita

and the corresponding waste composition at the source; i.e. the creation of waste at the levels of households,

businesses, institutions and the industry.

The objective of the consultancy is to conduct a waste generation and composition study in the municipalities of

Caye Caulker, San Pedro Ambergris Caye, Belize City and the twin towns of San Ignacio/Santa Elena through the

collection of random samples of municipal solid waste at the source of generation. Municipal solid waste sam-

ples will be collected from households, business/commerce, institutions, and industrial (domestic portion)

sources over a seven (7) day period.

This draft final report is summarizing the results of the implemented surveys, and is providing an analysis of the

investigated data.

The implementation of the surveys had been organised as follows:

1. San Ignacio/Santa Elena: Waste collection from Monday, 23rd August 2010, to Sunday, 29th August

2010. Preparation of sites and recruiting/training of staff had been carried out

the week before. The municipality supported the staff by providing comprehen-

sive information and some staff members. The collection logistics was organ-

ised by means of hiring trucks and pickups and transporting the collected

waste to a hired site, which was located on a private property approximately 1

km away from the municipal dumpsite. The waste was transported to the land-

fill site after analysis. In order to protect the staff from the sun, a tent was con-

structed so that sorting and weighing could be done under an awning.

2. Caye Caulker: Waste Collection took place from Thursday, 16th December 2010, to Wednes-

day, 22nd December 2010. Preparation and training took place two days earlier.

The municipality of Caye Caulker provided the contact to available staff and

also to important transport facilities for the equipment. The equipment used in

San Ignacio (containers, desk, chairs, tent sticks, awning, scales, etc.) was

transported to the island by boat via Belize Harbour. The material to be con-

sumed during the survey (bags, gloves, etc.) was brought from the main land

as well. The waste collection transport was organised through engaging the

currently working waste pickers with their tricycles. They were accompanied

by additional staff members, who were engaged to instruct the waste pickers

on the households and establishments where to pick up the waste bags.

Weighing and sorting was done in front of the entry gate of the dumpsite. Im-

mediately after processing, the analysed waste was brought to the disposal

site.



Fig. 1-1: Waste processing in Caye Caulker

3. San Pedro: Waste Collection took place from Sunday, 16th January 2011, to Saturday, 22nd

January 2011. The mobilisation, i.e. the transport of material by boat from Caye

Caulker, the recruitment of staff, and the training of the staff had been carried

out the week before. The waste collection transport was organised in coopera-

tion with the San Pedro Town Council, who provided the collection trucks and

related personnel for the operation. In San Pedro, the collection trucks were

also accompanied by assistants who knew the places so as to where to collect

the labelled bags. After processing and recording of data, the waste was

brought to the dumpsite, which was located in the immediate vicinity.



Fig. 1-2: Waste processing in San Pedro

4. Belize City: Waste Collection took place between Thursday, 20th January 2011, and Thurs-

day, 27th January 2011. Preparations and mobilisation of staff started some

days earlier. Additional equipment was organised as the study was running in

parallel to the one in San Pedro. Belize City Council provided support by arrang-

ing assistants, who were familiar with the city and the living conditions in the

biggest city of Belize. The waste sample transport was carried out in close co-

operation with the local service contractor from Belize Waste Control. The re-

quired truck capacity was hired directly from Belize Waste Control on an hourly

basis. The sorting and weighing place was located on the edge of the current

landfill in Mile 3.5 on the area already covered.

2 DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AND POPULATION PROJECTION

The population data used in this study have been taken from the available data publications from the Statistical

Institute of Belize in combination with information received from the municipality representatives during the study

field work.

The population figures used are as follows:

Tab. 2-1: Basic Population Data (2009)

Demographic data Belize CitySan Ignacio /

Santa ElenaSan Pedro Caye Caulker Total

Population 66,700 19,900 12,900 1,800 101,300

Household Size 3.80 5.00 3.80 3.30

No. of Businesses 2,072 871 949 107 3,999

No. of Institutions 200 87 18 10 315

No. of Industries 12 9 21

The latter table shall be used as a basis for the waste projections within the project area. For 2009, the population

figures are a projection based on previous estimates. In 2010, a national census was performed. The results are

pending. It is assumed that the real figures of the census of 2010 might be different from the assumptions as set

forth in this study, but in total, in terms of population, the result and the corresponding waste amounts should be

a realistic projection.

The population projection is based on a yearly growth rate, which was recorded in the official statistics between

2003 and 2007. For the target year 2040, the Consultant made an estimation of the last growth rate between the

years 2039 and 2040. Between 2040 and today, the growth rate will change gradually per year until the assumed

rate is reached. The basic idea of the latter fact is that the capacity of the islands shall not be endless in the fu-

ture. Under the assumption of a constant growth rate as reported between 2003 and 2007, the island of San

Pedro would be more populated than Belize City, which shall be considered not realistic. A negative growth rate

for San Pedro and a zero rate for Caye Caulker have been taken into account. In addition, the population of the

four municipalities shall be amended by a tourist equivalents, which is representing the average overnight stays

of tourists per year. The selected four municipalites of the Western Corridor Project are strongly dependent on the

tourism industry, hence the population was adjusted by tourist equivalents by considering additional statistical

data1.

For the twin towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena, it became obvious that the waste from the neighbouring city

Benque Viejo Town will be disposed of at the facilities of San Ignacio, hence the amounts of Benque Town shall

be considered in the data base2.

1 Statistical Institute of Belize: Abstract 2008, Tourist arrivals in Belize (251,656) * average overnights per tourist (7) * number of

Hotel beds per location (921 CC; 2,410 SP; 1726 SI; 1469 BZ) / number of available Hotel beds in Belize (10,502)

2 The calculations are considering the amounts of Benque Viejo Town, but is is possible to switch the said figures off by putting

the “Red-Yellow” button to zero.

3 SURVEY METHODOLOGY

3.1 Sample size for residential users

The study implementation started with the determination of the sample size to be achieved. It was calculated

using the formula as given in the Terms of Reference to this project and is based on the population size, the con-

fidence level, the permissible error and the desired variance.

The resulting sample sizes for the four municipalities are calculated and compared to samples taken as presented

in the following assumptions:

• Population size N, no. of households.

• Confidence Level: 1-α = 95%.

• Coefficient: Z1-α/2 = 1.96.

• Permissible Error: E = 50 gr/cap-day or 0.05 kg/cap-day.

• Standard Deviation: σ = 200 gr/cap-day or 0.2 kg/cap-day.

• Variance: σ2 = 0.04 kg/cap-day.

• Sample size n, no. of households to be selected randomly.

In the initial determination of the sample sizes per household income level, the distribution of the income levels is

estimated to be as follows:

• High income: 20% of households.

• Middle income: 60% of households

• Low income: 20% of households.

The same distribution is assumed for each of the four municipalities. The actual sample per household income

level in each city was refined during the first contact visits to the municipalities. The values of the sample sizes

for each of stratifications for the waste service users and the principle set-up in each municipality has been de-

fined according to the Terms of Reference. The sample size represents the number of entities per income stratifi-

cation to be contacted and from which waste will be collected in order to obtain a 95% certainty of the results.

Per income stratification, a permissible error E of 0.05 kg/cap-day3 has been used.

The permissible error E for the aggregated sample size per city for the households is between 0.029 and 0.030

kg/cap-day which is in line with the 0.025 kg/cap-day assumed in the Terms of Reference.

The actual number of establishments per generation source will need to be verified in each city during the prepa-

ration visits to the cities. This means that an estimated 992 households / establishments shall be involved in the

survey and the data collection exercise in total for the 4 cities.

• Belize City 299.

• San Ignacio 272.

• San Pedro 241 (169 +72)

• Cay Caulker 180.

• Total 992

The sample contacts are divided into different income levels and businesses in accordance with the available

statistical information.

3.3 Sample size for waste composition exercise

One of the objectives is to determine the waste composition for each source of generation. For this purpose, a

minimum of 100 kg of waste needs to be collected from the number of households / establishments determined

in the sample size on each day of the waste collection.

3.4 Survey Execution

During the execution of the surveys, it was noted that the participation of the population was not always as de-

sired, hence the number of samples received varied during the week. The industrial part is missing almost com-

pletely, so the consideration of this sector was disregarded for the calculation of the averages. The amount col-

lected from industrial establishments was considered too low to be part of the overall average. It is assumed that

the domestic portion of industrial waste is similar to the waste of the commercial sector in general.

Each of the participating partners got a specific bag which was numbered. The number was linking the partner to

the according group of waste generators as follows:

• Code 001 to 099: Low Income Households.

• Code 101 to 199: Medium Income Households.

• Code 201 to 299: High Income Households.



• Code 301 to 399: Business.

• Code 401 to 499: Institutions.

• Code 501 to 599: Industries.

The coded bags were collected and weighed. The weighing protocols have been listed and analysed further.

After weighing, the sorting of the waste of the residential, business and institutional sector took place. The re-

quired amount of ~100kg per sector and day was reached almost every day. The remaining part, which was not

sorted, was used for the density measuring by filling a drum with a fixed volume. After gathering all the required

data, the waste was brought to final disposal.

The weighing data were averaged for the entire week. Extreme values have been identified and checked if they

are resulting from a missing sample of the previous day or days. This has been corrected, otherwise the extreme

value sample has been considered as a valid sample. In Belize City a number of 5 single person households in the

high income group were identified to produce high waste amounts (extreme values). In order to treat this rea-

sonably, a subgroup of higher high income was created and factored to the main group by weighing by persons.

The results are shown in the next chapter.

The waste composition records for each day were added together for the entire week, and the percentages have

been taken from the weekly totals.

Densities have been recorded and averaged for the entire week.

All reported data have been aggregated as a total figure and weighed for the affected population in order to come

to a final figure for the project area. The total figure for each sector was weighed for the size of the samples ana-

lysed in order to reach a real average for the total municipality.



4 SURVEY DATA AND FINDINGS

4.1 Analysis of Data on Waste Generation Rates

The waste generation surveys have been conducted during seven consecutive days, except for Belize City, where

eight consecutive days have been chosen. During the implementation and the data evaluation, it has been de-

tected that the generator type “Industry” has not provided any useful samples for further analysis. The samples

received from that sector are very low in quantity and, for that reason, should not be considered for being in-

cluded in the calculation of averages.

The collection of samples worked reasonably well, however on certain days and sectors the return was relatively

low compared to other days. The Consultant raised the question about the eligibility of such sample days with a

low performance. The concern: “Is a sample day representative enough in case a lower number of samples has

been received than on other days” shall be investigated. As a representative example, the pure raw data of the

low income households in Belize City was taken in to account. Two of the eight days have been declared as “Bad

Days” as the return rate was significantly lower than the other six days. The all-day average of that survey was

0.86 kg per capita and day and includes a standard deviation of 0.60. Leaving the two bad days out of the aver-

age, the result was 0.82 kg per capita and day with a slightly higher standard deviation of 0.62. This test shows

that the validity of the average of the full eight days is better than the average of six days, based on the increased

standard deviation. The reason for the better standard deviation is the higher number of samples considered and

this will happen even in case lower return rates are received than expected. The following figure shows the com-

parison of the said two “all-day averages” and the statistical result. The two different lines are almost similar, and

one can see that values of the red curve are closer together than in the blue “only good days” curve. Conse-

quently, the further calculations are considering the bad days with a low return as representative enough to im-

prove the statistical validity of the survey results. It was furthermore assumed that the effect will be similar to the

other sectors and municipalities as, in principle, a higher number of samples will lead to a better quality of results.

For the final evaluation, the extreme values have been considered.

The residential samples have been taken for the three groups of “Low Income Households”, “Medium Income

Households” and “High Income Households”. The daily data have been averaged and, in addition, reported as an

aggregated figure for “Households”. The daily samples for the businesses and the institutions have been added

and divided by the number of establishments. The resulting figure was multiplied by the total number of entities

and divided by the population in order to get a real figure of business and institutional waste per inhabitant. The

three figures: (i) Residential, (ii) Business and (iii) Institution were added together to a total rate per municipality.

The average values for residential waste in Belize City are measured as follows:

• Low Income Households is 0.80 kg/cap*day. The variance is 0.2.

• Medium Income Households is 0.66 kg/cap*day. The variance is 0.23.

• High Income Households of 0.67 kg/cap*day. The variance is 0.21.

The high income households have considered the separation of obviously “rich” single person households, which

are producing an average of 3.97 kg/cap*day. This subgroup was factored in by considering the number of sam-

ples represented.

The average generation rate for residential waste users in Belize City is 0.77 kg/cap*day.

The average value for Business Waste was calculated at 0.22 kg/cap*day, which was based on the following

facts:



• Population: 66,700

• No. business establishments: 2,350

• Amount of waste collected: 1,942 kg

• No. of samples calculated: 311

Following the latter figures the business waste is amounting to approximately 15 tons per day or 21 tons per

working day during the week. Using an average density of 122 kg/m³ for the Belize business waste and assuming

a compaction ratio of 3:1 of the collection trucks, the number of daily truck trips is 4.2 for the business sector.

This seems to be realistic, as the local waste service provider “Belize Waste Control” is serving his commercial

customers with 4 trucks (14 trucks available, 2 trucks in standby, 8 trucks for residential collection use). It has to

be considered that a high number of small businesses dispose via the normal residential waste collection and

Belize Waste Control serves only 500 of them via direct contracts4.

The average value for Institutional Waste of 0.03 kg/cap*day was based on the following facts:


• No. institutional establishments: 200


• No. of samples weighed: 150

Based on the fact that the population density in Belize City is relatively high concentrated compared to the other

three municipalities, the average generation rate for the institutional sector is considered to be at a lower range.

Belize City is generating a ratio of 1.02 kg per capita and day, whilst the residential figure is 0.77 kg per capita

and day. The figure of 1.02 kg per capita and day is almost equal to the figure of 1 kg as reported for the Belize

Solid Waste Management Project in 1999.

It has to be considered that the calculation of the per capita waste generation rate for the business and the insti-

tutional sector is based on a weighing by the entire population and not on a weighing sample by person as it is

done for the residential waste groups, hence the given standard error in the table above should not be taken into

account. This is the case for the further three municipalities as well.

• Low Income Households: 0.35 kg/cap*day

• Medium Income Households: 0.49 kg/cap*day

• High Income Households: 0.76 kg/cap*day

The measured variances are 0.04, 0.04 and 0.04 for Low, Medium and High Income Households respectively.

The average value for Business Waste was calculated at 0.57 kg/cap*day, which was based on the following

facts:


• No. business establishments: 1650








The waste generation rate for the institutions is high compared to Belize City, which is mainly based on the num-

ber of institutions related to the population. Nevertheless the institutional generation in this municipality remains

higher. The factor compared to Belize City is 4.6. Assuming a theoretical increase of the sampling, coming to a



double waste amount and tripling of number of samples will still lead to a rate of 0.09 kg/cap*day, which would

remain three times the rate of Belize City. The reason of this difference is not clear.

San Pedro is generating a ratio of 1.03 kg per capita and day whilst the residential figure is 0.43 kg per capita and

day. It is obvious that the major amount of waste is generated by the business sector. A reason for that could be

the touristic focus of the island’s economy. The figure of 1.03 kg per capita and day is almost double the figure of

0.54 kg as reported for the Belize Solid Waste Management Project in 1999.

The arithmetical average shows a figure of 1.07 kg per capita and day. By using the population as a weighting

factor, which is considered to be the more reasonable approach, the aggregated figure is also 1.07 kg per capita

and day. The residential sector produces 0.68 kg per capita and day. The origin of waste arriving at the central-

ised sanitary landfill can be assumed as shown in the following table. The major part shall be produced by the

residential sector (63.8%), although the business part is responsible for a high portion of 31.8%:

Fig. 4.2-1: Waste Densities in the Project Area

It can be observed, that the waste density in Belize City is far under the values measured in the three other loca-

tions, which could be partly justified with the highest portion of plastics in the total waste amount (21% in Belize

City). The density of institutional waste in San Ignacio is significantly higher than in the other three places. The

reason for that untypical deviation is unknown. Taking the measured values and the different weight of each value

related to the population into account, the total density is 139 kg per m³ or 8.7 lbs per ft³. The low density is

showing an impact on the volume to be collected and transferred to the programmed landfill at Mile 24 on the

Western Highway. Each metric ton of waste shall have an average volume of 7.2 m³. By initiating a compaction

procedure, the transporting density could be realistically increased to approximately 600 kg per m³ for transporta-

tion purposes, which means a quarter of the expected volume.

The major component within the waste composition is the biodegradable part with 33%. Plastics (with 19%) and

paper (with 16%) are the second and third largest portions. It is obvious that Belize City plays the major role in the

analysis of the waste composition as the biodegradable organic fraction is significantly higher in the other three

municipalities.

The observed waste stream demonstrated a result with an elevated fraction of potentially recyclable material (pa-

per, plastic, metal, and glass) of some 48% by mass. Plastics, in general, represented the highest fraction at 19%

followed by paper & cardboard at 16%, glass at only 8% and metals at some 5%. The biodegradable waste frac-

tion was some 33% and was similarly relatively small in particle size. An analysis on a more detailed level is pre-

4.4 Analysis of Moisture Content, Calorific Value and C:N Ratio in

each Municipality

Four samples have been taken from the waste of each municipality. The samples were collected by a chemical

expert during the waste surveys on site, packed appropriately and transported to testing.

4.4.1 Moisture Content

One of the objectives of this Study is to assess the moisture and volatile solid contain of the waste collected in

the project area. With this in mind, samples of paper, cardboard and organic waste were collected during the

sorting procedure.

The moisture content is a very important factor that influences the decisions for converting organic waste into

energy, biogas or compost, using solid waste as a fuel, and designing landfills or incineration plants. A linear rela-

tionship exists between the moisture content and the energy value of paper, cardboard and organic waste. In the



case of incinerator processes, as the moisture content increases, the energy value declines, as more of the en-

ergy released during the combustion process will be required to vaporize the water within the waste.

The moisture content shall be measured by drying the samples and recording the weight before and after drying.

Ideally, the sample shall be heated to 105 ºC in an oven during 48 hours. The moisture content is the weight dif-

ference of the sample before and after the heating process.

The moisture content can be calculated on the basis of the following equation.

MC (%) = 100*(W-Wt)/W

Where:

MC (%) = Moisture content

W = Weight of the waste before drying in kg

Wt= Weight of the waste after drying in kg

The samples taken have shown the following moisture contents of the entire waste and should be treated as es-

timations.

Average 25.00% 38.75% 40.88% 30.13% 33.69% 29.81%

The average value of 29.81% is low due to the high contribution of the Belize City portion. In a certain way, the

lower moisture content of Belize City is reflecting the higher density of waste in the municipalities other than Be-

lize City.

4.4.2 Calorific Value Assessment

The knowledge of the calorific value is important to determine the calorific potential of the waste and estimate

the energy amount that can be produced in a Waste to Energy Process. The calorific value of the waste depends

on the composition of the waste. Waste with a lot of plastic has a higher calorific value then waste with less

plastic and more paper. The calorific value is the amount of heat released during the combustion of a specified

amount of it. The calorific value is characteristic for each substance. It is measured in units of energy per unit of

the substance, usually mass, such as: MJ/kg, kcal/kg, kJ/kg, J/mol, Btu/m³. The contribution to the calorific value

of the total waste by each component is given by multiplying the wet-weight value by the calorific value.

The calorific value is equal or similar for the majority of dry waste components (organics, paper, plastics, rubber,

etc.); no matter if the waste is produced in Belize or elsewhere. Therefore, the calorific value was selected on the

basis of literature review, and real examples obtained in Waste to Energy projects, and compared to the labora-

tory samples.

The basic figures for the calorific values are:

The resulting figure of 13.29 MJ/kg shall be seen as realistic estimations. Due to the fact that only small samples

can be tested in laboratories within the region, the quality of the lab-based outcome shall not be considered to be

reliable information; hence the theoretical value should be more trustful. The final value of 13.29 MJ/kg is stating

that the waste is not able to be e.g. incinerated without additional fuel input. A self-burning process requires a

value of at least 19 MJ/kg, which is equivalent to the properties of dry wood.



4.4.3 Carbon to Nitrogen Ratio (C:N)

The C/N ratio (C:N) or Carbon-to-Nitrogen ratio is a ratio of the mass of carbon to the mass of nitrogen in a sub-

stance. Grass clippings and other green vegetation tend to have a higher proportion of nitrogen (and therefore a

lower C/N ratio) than brown vegetation such as dried leaves or wood chips. If, for instance, a compost mix is too

low in nitrogen, it will not heat up. If the nitrogen proportion is too high, the compost may become too hot, killing

the compost microorganisms, or it may become anaerobic, resulting in a foul-smelling mess. The usual recom-

mended range for C/N ratios at the start of the composting process is about 30/1, but this ideal may vary depend-

ing on the bioavailability of the carbon and nitrogen. As carbon gets converted to CO2 (and assuming minimal ni-

trogen losses), the C/N ratio decreases during the composting process, with the ratio of finished compost typi-

cally close to 10/1.

Based on the following assumptions, the C:N Ratio has been evaluated.

The accumulated figure is considering the expected amounts from Benque Viejo Town, which are to be trans-

ferred via the system in San Ignacio.

The volume of waste is calculated by multiplying the reported densities with the waste amounts. Due to the low

density, the municipality of Belize City produces almost 68% of the total waste volume.

6 RECOMMENDATIONS AND LESSONS LEARNED

Recommendations:

The outcome of this project is confirming more or less the assumption for the waste generation of approximately

1.03 kilogram per person and day as assumed as design rate in the Belize Solid Waste Management Project in

1999. The results presented in this report are slightly lower. It is recommended to use the new landfill in Mile 24

with a strict and properly managed weighing facility for all incoming devices and to monitor the real input to the

disposal site. Furthermore, the latest census executed in 2010 shall provide most recent population figures which

shall be used to update the figures in this report on a regular basis. Taking the results of this study into account

and comparing them with a weighing record on the new landfill site shall not lead to major discrepancies.

A challenge could be the low density of waste (which is automatically leading to high volumes and to high trans-

porting costs) if the waste is not going to be compacted to a certain degree, which should be economically feasi-

ble. For this reason, it is recommended to install a compaction device for the waste to go through prior to each

transfer loading point. This device can be the power shovel or a wheel loader, which is driving over the waste

prior to loading it onto the trucks or into the containers.

The waste composition figures are showing a recyclable part, which is higher than expected for the plastics

component. Here is a starting point for a valuable recycling strategy. Organic parts should account for a high por-

tion too, but this portion is lower than expected in the Belize Solid Waste Management Project in 1999.

Lessons learned:

Waste is like water. It will never stop flowing, and if there is too much, you want to get rid of it. It is hardly possi-

ble to convince or to educate people and establishments to change the waste flow for a short period of measuring

time. Involving multiple parties seems to be perfect from a theoretical point of view. In practice, however, you

have multiple opinions about accuracy, timing and the means of contribution. Even a good cooperating household

can not be used in case somebody else collects the waste before the organised collection staff arrives.

In case a waste generation study is to be carried out again in the future, it is recommended to change the princi-

ple in total. The Consultant recommends to engage the waste collection entity (whether it is a private service

provider or a municipal department) to carry out regular investigations on an annual basis, maybe as a contrac-

tual obligation or for an additional fee. The collector has to identify the surveyed areas and/or entities, report the

number of inhabitants, employees or other units and reconcile it with SWaMA. A truck can collect the waste

from the reconciled areas and can be weighed (empty and fully loaded) and analysed easily on a separate basis.

The collection intervals shall be used as usual. The advantages are as follows:

• The collector knows his area and clients.

• The normal process of waste collection is not disturbed, i.e. nobody feels a loss of business.

• Additional collection costs for all parties are in a marginal range.

• The waste producers are not much involved in the procedure.

• All parties are gathering interesting information about their activities, which is a further incentive to col-

laborate.

Waste composition analyses can be made on the landfill site by analysing truck loads, if it is investigated before-

hand from which area the load is originating.

As a general lesson learned, the Consultant is recommending the following:

• Waste generation and composition analysis shall not be linked together. These should be practically two

different activities.

1. Introduction

The objective of this manual is to provide pragmatic guidance for conducting waste characterization studies

in Belize. It is based on SWMA’s request to know more about the composition of the waste streams in vari-

ous cities in order to gather planning data for encouraging recycling and waste treatment strategies. Waste composition surveys shall be undertaken in Belize to harmonize scope, design, sampling, measure-

ment, analysis or reporting of results and to receive data on a comparable level for different locations and

dates. The manual shall report a consistent methodology for waste composition analysis.

It is important to note that waste characterization surveys are representing only one short period of the year.

By themselves they do not directly indicate progress in reduction or re-use or recycling of materials. They

indicate only what occurred at that point in time. Repeated studies over several years using the same ap-

proach and design are clearly necessary to figure out any trends in waste diversion development.

Waste characterization studies are to be undertaken to collect information for different purposes, such as:

• the design of effective diversion programs for recyclables and organics;

• implementing collection and processing systems;

• testing the effectiveness of public education programs;

• the design of materials recovery and composting facilities; and,

• Estimating environmental impacts of diversion and solid waste systems.

Reflecting the need of information and the budget constraints usually given, this manual is trying to assist in

preparing and implementing a feasible approach, which deemed to be pragmatic and cost-effective.

2. Sampling of waste:

It is recommended that waste shall be assorted on the landfill site. The samples shall origin from trucks arriv-

ing from preselected areas or preselected kinds of waste producers. The waste producers shall be the focus-

sed group or groups of interest for the municipality. This could be households of different income levels,

commercial establishments, areas within the city borders, urban or rural areas, etc. The routing of the col-

lecting truck shall be reconciled prior to the sampling tour. It is recommended that the current service pro-

vider in charge is doing the collection. During the reconcilement process, it should be made possible to re-

cord the number of people, and/or establishments affected in that collection area, which would facilitate, in

case of need, additional information on the generation rate per capita or per establishment.

3. Period of sampling:

It is recommended to repeat the collection process for the entire week, which means to collect a normal

weekly rhythm of the focussed waste producers. Any deviation from the regular collection frequency will

most likely lead to additional costs and efforts of the waste disposal logistics.

4. Sample size:

A daily sample shall be at least 100kg or ~ 200 lbs to produce statistically proper results. This amount is

granted for sure, in case normal trucks or pickups are used. The said daily sample size shall be done per sec-

tor of interest (i.e. per income class, per area, per type of commercials, etc.). Consequently a total minimum

amount of 700 kg should be analysed per week for each particular sector, if possible. It is recommended to

weigh the whole truckload amount, which is arriving from each vehicle selected for the survey. As the num-

ber of served people is known prior to the collection process, the total weight of the loaded sample can be


used to derive the waste generation rate per capita and day. Once the collection frequency and the resulting

waste amount for the week is determined and reconciled, the daily amount of sample sizes can be calculated

in a way that a total of approx. 700 kg can be analysed. In case the truck or vehicle load is much higher than

the required sample amount, the waste load should be mixed and quartered. The sorting analysis should be

done only for the quarters, which are needed to reach the required sample amount for the day.

5. Sample site:

In each municipality, an area close to the landfill site shall be reserved, where the collected waste can be

sorted, weighted and analysed for each day of the waste study period. It is recommended to construct a tent

or a shed, which is protecting the works and the workers from the sun and the rain. The following criteria

will be considered too:

1. The bottom needs a plastic cover or should be at least dry.

2. The size should allow two working areas of at least 20m² for two teams. One team is consisting of

three people for weighing, recording, assorting and disposing the samples.

3. Under the roof a table for weighing and recording is needed for each team.

4. Accessibility for vehicles used to drop the collected waste samples.

5. Proximity to the disposal site where the solid waste will have to be disposed at the end of the day. If

possible, the actual site of the disposal site will be used.

6. Possibility to store and guard the equipment and material during the entire study period without caus-

ing inconvenience to the surroundings or the risk of theft or damage.

6. Sorting process:

From the loose waste heap of approx. 100kg+ the team shall be figure out the required waste fractions

manually. Big things as fridges, furniture, mattresses shall be excluded. To conduct the sorting and deter-

mine the composition, the following steps shall be followed:

Step 1: Recruit assistants for the sorting process with assistance from the municipality concerned. 6

persons shall be sufficient to assort two heaps of 100kg+ in two hours. The assistants should

be able to read and write and understand the language of the Team Leader in charge.

Step 2: Provide an appropriate training for the persons engaged to explain the different fractions and

assist wherever possible during the process until everything is clear to the staff. It is recom-

mended to spent at least one day prior to the starting of the analysis and to use some randomly

selected waste heaps from the landfill to show the sorting and the weighing process.

Step 3: Make sure the personnel use the appropriate protective clothing and equipment and that the

appropriate safety equipment is in place and functioning, as specified in the Occupational

Health and Safety protocol (see annex 4). The minimum clothing requirements shall be gloves,

long trousers and shirts with long sleeves.

Step 4: Use equal containers (100 litres bins or similar) for the storing the sorted waste, one for each

primary categories and secondary categories (as applicable). Label each container with the

name of the primary (and secondary category), using the categories specified in one of the next

tables below. The weight of the container needs to be recorded and deducted from the results

during the later analysis.

Step 5: Sort the waste. The sorting is done manually, taking care of sharp items, and the sorted waste

is placed into each of the label container repeating a specific primary / secondary material

category. Take care with hazardous materials, which should be placed in a separate labelled

container.


Step 6: Make sure that the engaged staff use the recording format (see form attached) to record:

♦ The municipality.

♦ The type of generator (category).

♦ The date and the number of day of the survey.

♦ The name of the survey team member and the supervisor.

♦ The gross weight of each filled container. It is important to weigh all fractions with the

same size of container (bin)

Step 7: In case the waste density is required to measure, the weighed waste shall be filled into a drum,

which shall have a defined volume (most probably around 200 litres) and shook well. By count-

ing and recording the number of full drums at the end of the day, the total daily waste weight

(which is recorded anyway) can be divided by the number of drums times the volume of the

drum. This can be easily done prior to final disposal of the waste.

Step 8: Bring the weighed waste fraction to final disposal site after recording the data of the composi-

tion and the density.

Step 9: The site must be cleaned up at the end of each day. It is recommended to look for a reliable

night security guard in order to take care of the equipment (scales, desks, containers, chairs,

etc. )

ANNEX II

MATERIAL CATEGORIES

The selection of material categories for waste composition studies is a critical step in the design. The

material categories and subcategories that are used in conducting the Study need to be consistent with

the overall objectives. The categories selected should be consistent with the need to clearly establish the

biodegradable and recyclable components of the waste stream in the Western Corridor. Secondly, the

categories should allow for analyzing the results in the context of the SWMP strategies for improving

reduction and recycling.

The seven primary material categories including their sub-categories are the following:

1. Paper. The primary category is paper. The secondary categories are:

i. mixed paper

ii. corrugated cardboard boxes.

2. Plastics. The primary category is plastics. The secondary categories are:

i. polyethylene terephthalate (PETE): means clear or colored PETE (polyethylene

terephthalate) containers. When marked for identification, it bears the number 1 in the

center of the triangular recycling symbol and may also bear the letters PETE or PET.

The color is usually transparent green or clear. A PETE container usually has a small dot

left from the manufacturing process, not a seam. Examples include soft drink and water

bottles, some liquor bottles, cooking oil containers, and aspirin bottles.

ii. high density polyethylene (HDPE): means natural and colored HDPE (high-density

polyethylene) containers. This plastic is usually either cloudy white, allowing light to

pass through it (natural) or a solid color, preventing light from passing through it

(colored). When marked for identification, it bears the number 2 in the triangular

recycling symbol and may also bear the letters HDPE. Examples include milk jugs,

water jugs, detergent bottles, some hair-care bottles, empty motor oil, empty antifreeze,

and other empty vehicle and equipment fluid containers.

iii. plastic film as "film-transport packaging" and plastic shopping bags

iv. styrofoam products as plates, clamshell-shaped fast food containers, clamshell-like

muffin containers cups, foam egg cartons and other styrofoam products

v. miscellaneous plastic products: Items may be made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride),

LDPE (low-density polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PS (polystyrene), or mixed

resins. When marked for identification, these items may bear the number 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7

in the triangular recycling symbol. Examples include food containers such as bottles for

salad dressings and vegetable oils, flexible and brittle yogurt cups, syrup bottles,

margarine tubs, microwave food trays. This type also includes some shampoo

containers, vitamin bottles.

3. Metals. The primary category is metals. The secondary categories are:

i. aluminum cans and products: means any food or beverage container made mainly of

aluminum, aluminum foil etc.

ii. ferrous means any iron or steel that is magnetic or any stainless steel item. This type

includes tin/steel cans and metal clothes hangers, metal pipes, stainless steel cookware,

security bars, and scrap ferrous items.

iii. other non ferrous metals: means any metal item, other than aluminum cans/products,

that is not stainless steel and that is not magnetic. These items may be made of copper,

14

brass, bronze, lead, zinc, or other metals. Examples include copper wire, shell casings,

brass pipe, etc.

4. Glass. The primary category is glass. The secondary categories are:

i. beverage glass bottles irrespective of color or use

ii. other glass jars/containers irrespective of color.

5. Biodegradable Organic Materials. The primary category is biodegradable organic materials.

The secondary categories are:

i. food scraps: means food material resulting from the processing, storage, preparation,

cooking, handling, or consumption of food. This type includes material from industrial,

commercial, or residential sources. Example include discarded meat scraps, dairy

products, egg shells, fruit or vegetable peels, and other food items from homes, stores,

and restaurants.

ii. yard waste, grass, leaves and twigs: means plant material, except woody material, from

any public or private landscapes. Examples include leaves, grass clippings, plants, and

seaweed

iii. wood wastes

6. Other Organic Materials would include the secondary categories of:

i. bones

ii. leather,

iii. textiles,

iv. rubber,

ANNEX IV

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

APPLICABILITY

This site safety plan outlines and explains the various equipment, procedures and rules which have been

designed to keep sorters safe and healthy during this study. Failure of a sorter to follow anyone of the rules

set forth in this site safety plan will be grounds for immediate dismissal. Unsafe practices or behavior will

not be tolerated.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES

This basic procedure for sorters will be to weigh refuse bags then identify different materials in an MSW

sample that has been placed on a waist-high sorting table and to place the materials in nearby appropriately

labeled containers. Before receiving the waste on the table it will have been given a preliminary

examination by the site supervisor/consultant (or an appropriately trained assistant) for household

hazardous, hazardous, and infectious waste. After the material is sorted into the containers, the supervisor or

an assistant will weigh the containers. After the containers are emptied, the next sample will be brought to

the table and the sorting will begin again.

LOCATION OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT

The following items will be located near the sorting tables for immediate access:

• One 10# ABC Dry Chemical Fire Extinguishers

• Spill Containment Kit

• Protective Clothing

• First Aid Kit

• Potable Water Supply

COMMUNICATIONS

During the sort, sorters will be wearing dust masks that will inhibit communication by voice. Care should be

taken in moving about and in moving the garbage and containers, in walking behind someone, stepping over

objects, etc. Greater effort will be required to communicate and sorters should consider it important to take

the time to walk over to someone to speak to them or to use hand signals in order to keep the work area safe.

EMPLOYEES AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

SITE SUPERVISOR ALSO THE CONSULTANT OR DESIGNATE

The site supervisor is the site safety officer and the emergency coordinator. The site supervisor will be

overseeing the entire work area and will be responsible for conducting a preliminary examination of the

waste samples for hazards before the sample is categorized by the sorters. The sorters may not approach the

areas where unexamined waste samples are being stored or examined. In the event of a spill of hazardous

material from a sample, the supervisor is responsible for cleanup of the spill or for calling the appropriate

authorities. In the event of a medical emergency, the supervisor will accompany the victim to the hospital.

The supervisor is also responsible for dismissing those individuals whose conduct is considered to be

unsafe.

SORTERS

In order to make the job as comfortable and safe as possible, a number of procedures and work locations

will be defined. Sorters will be required to wear an organic vapor dust mask rather than a respirator because

the waste will have been preliminarily examined to remove the hazardous, household hazardous, and

infectious waste, and they will be limited to working only in the vicinity of the sort tables and taking breaks

in a predetermined area.

NEED FOR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

Municipal solid waste is not considered to be a hazardous material by definition. Nevertheless, it certainly

may contain items and substances that may be encountered in close range, picked up by hand, or may have

leaked from a broken container and mixed with other waste materials. These conditions could result in

situations which could be hazardous to the health of the sorters conducting the study. For these reasons, it

will be necessary for each sorter to wear the personal protective clothing that will be provided. This

protective clothing is listed below. Again, not wearing any of these items while working at the sorting table

will be grounds for immediate dismissal.

• Hard hats

• Safety glasses or goggles (or prescription safety glasses)

• Organic vapor dust mask

• Long sleeve shirts and pants

• Nitrile gloves (cotton liners will be provided, optional)

ROUTES OF ENTRY IN CONTAMINATION

Personal protective clothing guards the "routes of entry" from materials hazardous to human health. The

ways that hazardous materials can enter the body are by ingesting them, breathing them in, contacting them

with the skin, eyes, or mucous membranes, or by injecting them (by contact with broken glass, nails,

syringes, etc.). The two most common routes of exposure which will be encountered during the sort are

through the skin (particularly through a cut or abrasion), including the mucous membranes in the eyes, nose

and mouth, and through inhalation. Hands and arms will be covered by long sleeve shirts and nitrile gloves;

eyes and nose will be shielded by glasses and a mask. The mask will also shield against the inhalation of

any airborne material. However, caution and safe work practices will have to be given priority during the

entire time of the sort.

Frequent breaks will be encouraged in the event of extremely hot weather. A work/rest schedule will be

adapted to weather conditions. Also, water and beverages should be provided by the consultant throughout

the sort.

FIRST AID FOR HEAT

The following are First Aid procedures for conditions caused by hot temperature extremes that may be

aggravated by required personal protective equipment:

HEAT EXHAUSTION Caused by: Prolonged hot spell, excessive exposure, physical exertion.

Symptoms: Profuse sweating, weakness, dizziness, and sometimes heat cramps; skin is cold and pale,

clammy with sweat; pulse is thready and blood pressure is low. Body temperature is normal or subnormal.

Vomiting may occur. Unconsciousness is rare.

First Aid: Move to a cooler environment immediately. Provide rest and a cool drink of water or beverage

like Gatorade. Seek medical attention if the symptoms are severe.

18

HEAT STROKE (HEAT COLLAPSE)

WARNING: CAN BE FATAL Caused by: Failure of the body to regulate its temperature because of excessively warm weather and

physical exertion has depleted it of fluids needed to perspire.

Symptoms: 1. Weakness, dizziness, nausea, headache, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, excessive sweating;

skin flushed and pink. 2. Sweating stops (usually) and body temperature rises sharply. Delirium or coma is

common; skin changes from pink to ashen or purplish.

First Aid: Immediate medical care is needed; heat stroke is very serious. The body must be cooled soon.

Move the victim to a cooler place, remove protective clothing, and bathe in cold water. Use extreme care

and frequently check ABCs (airway, breathing, and circulation) if the person is unconscious.

GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES

SITE CONTROL

It is important to remember that personnel involved in conducting the waste composition study are guests of

the facility. While the waste composition study is being conducted, sorters and the supervisor must abide by

the rules outlined in this site safety plan, no matter how familiar the site or other drivers or operators are.

Parking areas, work areas, and designated paths to water outlets, break areas, etc., will be identified and all

sorters must remain in these areas. Keep in mind that the operators of the large trucks and machinery at the

facility are not accustomed to a group of people working on the ground at the facility. Vehicles are often

moving very quickly. Heavy machinery operators and collection vehicles often move in reverse with limited

vision. Noise levels around these machines/vehicles may be high. It is imperative you remain in designated

areas and do not wander, scavenge, or explore, no matter how tempting or harmless the action may seem.

You must also be alert to vehicles/machines entering areas designated for your use whose operators may not

see you.

WASTE SORTER TRAINING PLAN

Areas will be designated where sorters may wash up and where food and beverages may be consumed.

Wash hands and face with soap and water before eating, drinking, chewing gum or smoking. No eating,

drinking, gum chewing, or smoking will be allowed in the sort area. Shower as soon as possible upon

reaching home. A smoking area will also be designated. Always inform the site coordinator of any condition

or activity you find unsafe.

PRESORTING

Sorters hired to sort and categorize the waste samples will be wearing a level of protective clothing and

respiratory equipment which will not allow them to work with an unexamined sample of solid waste. The

site supervisor or another adequately-trained staff member will conduct a preliminary examination of the

waste samples, looking for hazardous, household hazardous or infectious waste before it may be shoveled

onto the sort table. If unsorted waste samples are brought into the sorting area, sorters should stay near the

sort tables and not sort the waste until told that it is ready.

SORTING MSW Sorting and categorizing waste requires that it be picked up with the hands. Nitrile gloves with optional

cotton liners are being provided to protect the skin from dirt and potential hazards, but they will not protect

against sharp materials, which will certainly be in the waste. To avoid being cut or receiving a puncture

wound, always pick items from the surface of the piled garbage. Never plunge your hands into the pile;

never use your hands to push or pull a large amount of waste around. Do not pick up garbage that you

cannot fully see. Pick up one item at a time while trying not to disturb the others. Take your time. Keep in

mind your safety and the safety of those working near you. Moving the waste to the containers used for

categorizing and weighing the garbage should be done with care. Sorters should station themselves at a

19

single position near a table and sort for the family of materials identified on the barrels nearest their

location. Don't grab a handful of like materials and run around the table to the barrels behind other workers.

One could easily trip, be knocked down, hit with an item, or at the very least startle a fellow worker by

being behind them when unexpected. Materials in other categories should be passed to fellow workers

nearer those barrels. Do not throw the garbage. Restrain yourself from tossing or throwing materials, which

will be tempting when you are tired or bored. Prior to initiating the sorting event, the site supervisor will

provide each sorter with a list of the various material categories and their definitions. The site supervisor

will review the materials to be sorted and address any questions about the various categories.

LIFTING

It is likely that heavy barrels will need to be moved from the sort tables to the scale and then to a disposal

area and that garbage will need to be shoveled onto the tables. Sorters are required to be able to lift 25

pounds to apply for the position. Every effort has been taken to lessen the likelihood of a back injury

because of the nature of the work, but every individual will need to keep their own health in mind. If you

have a previous back injury or if a barrel is too heavy for you to roll or slide, ask for help, or let someone

else do it. When shoveling garbage onto the tabletop, do not load the shovel with more weight than you can

comfortably lift. Take your time.

Remember the following tips when lifting:

• Maintain the three natural curves of your spine by keeping your head high, chin tucked in, and your

back arched.

• Bend your hips and knees.

• Use the diagonal lift (one foot ahead, one foot behind) to get the weight in close and maintain a

wide, balanced base of support).

• Keep your abdominal muscles tight when you lift to help support your back.

• Keep the load close to your body and stand up straight. Keep your head up.

• Avoid twisting as you lift. Pivot after you lift if you need to change direction.

• Avoid lifting anything heavy above your shoulders. Get up higher on a stool or other sturdy item and

don't lift as high.

HYGIENE

As stated previously, when eating, drinking or smoking, contaminated protective clothing should be

removed and hands and face washed with soap and water. As soon as possible after arriving at home at the

end of the day a shower should be taken.

GUESTS

It is likely that the waste composition study will draw a number of visitors to the site. They are welcome to

view the study, but will be escorted and requested to keep a safe distance from activities. If guests stay more

than a few minutes, they may be inclined to help out or poke around on the table or in the sort barrels.

Please politely ask them to refrain for their own safety. If they don't abide by your request, please walk over

to the site supervisor and inform him or her. In the unlikely event that a guest would cause you to be in an

unsafe working situation, stop working and leave the sorting area until the situation is corrected.

PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING HAZARDOUS WASTES

The waste composition study procedure has been designed so that sorters are not exposed to mixed

municipal solid waste that has not first been screened for hazardous, household hazardous, or infectious

waste. These materials are briefly defined and appropriate actions outlined for each in the following:

20

HAZARDOUS: Materials that were improperly disposed of in municipal waste; e.g., infectious waste, toxic chemicals,

flammable chemicals, explosives etc.

Action: If the presorters should miss a hazardous item in a waste sample and it is brought to the waste table

and found, work should immediately stop and the area should be cleared. The entire waste sample will be

rejected and removed and, depending upon the nature of the hazardous item, the site supervisor will see to

the proper disposal action or will call the appropriate emergency agency.

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS: Materials commonly found in the home or work place which can be toxic, especially when discarded; e.g.,

paints, solvents, strong cleaners, pesticides.

Action: If you are aware something is spilled in the waste and hazardous--e.g., you smell a solvent or

chemical odor--stop working, step away, notify the others at your table to stop work, and call the supervisor.

If an unidentified chemical has apparently spilled on the mixed waste, the sample will be rejected, the table

cleaned, and a new sample brought in.

INFECTIOUS WASTE: Solid waste that might be able to transfer disease or infection to another person; e.g., extremely bloody

medical items, syringes, or an indiscriminately discarded biomedical bag. These biomedical bags are often

red in color and they have "infectious waste" or the biomedical symbol printed on them.

Action: If a hospital or veterinary bag or a similar medical waste is found, work should be stopped and the

supervisor notified to remove the waste from the table. Single syringes are quite common in mixed

municipal waste and one of the major reasons hands should not be plunged blindly into garbage. If a syringe

is found, the sorter finding it should announce to other workers at the table "Syringe." When you have the

attention of those working near you take care in moving the syringe to a designated container for HHW, in

order not to accidentally poke yourself, a worker standing near you, or someone who may be coming up

behind you.

EMERGENCY CONTINGENCY PLAN

Emergency Coordinator: The site supervisor is the emergency coordinator. The assistant coordinator will be

the emergency coordinator in the event that the supervisor is not available. The following information will

be posted at the site at all times.

COORDINATION WITH EMERGENCY AGENCIES

The emergency coordinator evaluates all emergency situations and seeks assistance from emergency

agencies as needed to manage emergency response. The following agencies must be notified of the study

activities and may be called upon (have telephone numbers handy) for assistance depending on the nature of

the emergency:

• Emergency Services

• Fire and Rescue

• Police

• Ambulance/paramedics

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Appropriate action will be taken by the study personnel in the event of an emergency described in this

section. Before responding to any emergency, personnel will immediately evaluate the danger of the

situation. If remaining in the area could be dangerous, all personnel will immediately leave the area. If the

situation appears to pose no immediate threat, personnel will first attempt to bring the situation under

control. If deemed necessary, the appropriate emergency response agency will be summoned. The following

action will be undertaken in the event of an emergency.

21

EVACUATION

All unauthorized persons not wearing appropriate protective equipment and clothing shall immediately

leave the area of spills, fires, or explosions until the cleanup has been completed.

SPILLS

MINOR-SOLID

A release of less than one pound of a solid hazardous waste will be cleaned up by the site supervisor by

sweeping the substance into a container with the use of a dust pan. For fine powders that easily become

airborne, add absorbent clay to keep down the powder. Clean-up the material using a dust pan, containerize,

and dispose appropriately.

MINOR-LIQUID

In the event of an unplanned release of less than one quart of a liquid hazardous material, the site supervisor

should attempt to contain the spill through the use of absorbent material. Cleanup commences by spreading

absorbent material (pillows or pads) around the perimeter of the spill. This material is cautiously placed on

the spill until absorption is complete. Every precaution should be taken to avoid

contact with the material. Once the liquid has been absorbed, lift the material using a dust pan. Containerize,

label, package and dispose appropriately.

MAJOR

In the very unlikely event of a major spill or release of hazardous material that is unmanageable by the

supervisor, work will cease, the area will be evacuated, and the appropriate emergency agency will be

contacted immediately.

FIRE

In the event of a small fire in the study area, the supervisor will quickly attempt to bring the situation under

control using the dry chemical fire extinguisher on site. Those not involved in firefighting should evacuate

the area immediately. Following this initial attempt to control the fire, the local fire department will be

alerted and additional instructions requested. After a fire has been contained and mitigated, cleanup

operations will commence under the supervision of the supervisor. If burned materials are nonhazardous

they may be disposed of at the dumpsite; if hazardous in nature the supervisor will dispose of the material in

the same manner as hazardous waste and spill contaminant materials. All equipment and surfaces that came

into contact with the hazardous materials will be thoroughly decontaminated. If a fire is spreading beyond

the control of the supervisor, the supervisor will make the decision to abandon firefighting efforts and all

involved personnel will evacuate to an upwind side and call in the local fire department to handle the

emergency. Work will cease until further notice.

EMERGENCY EYEWASH UNIT

The emergency eyewash unit will be located near the sort area. In the event that someone gets a foreign

object in his or her eye, the victim's eyes should be flushed with water from a source of clean water, for at

least 15 minutes. The victim may not want to open the affected eye while the attempt is being made to flush

it. Someone may have to assist the victim by gently holding onto the skin above the victim's eyebrow and

below the cheekbone to help open the eye. However, do not struggle with the victim and forcibly open his

or her eye; this could exacerbate the injury.

SUMMARY The site supervisor will follow the health and safety procedures specified in this plan. All sorters will be

familiar with the policy and procedures specified in the plan prior to initiating the sorting events.
