Appendix 1: Methods for measuring quantities of waste
1. Landfills with weighbridges
If the landfill has a weighbridge installed, waste quantities in tonne must be derived from the computer system or weighbridge docket.
2. Landfills with staffed gate (vehicle count method)
• If the landfill does not have a weighbridge but is staffed at the gate, record the number of vehicles entering and transporting wastes from the premises on a daily basis.
• Record the vehicles according to their vehicle type (refer Section 2), waste stream and material composition code (refer Section 3).
• At the end of the day multiply the number of vehicles by the appropriate weight factor (refer Section 2) to determine the tonnage of waste received and transported that day. Successively add each days waste to obtain the annual tonnage of waste received and transported.
3. Landfills with no staff at the gate (vehicle survey method)
• If the landfill is not staffed at the gate, conduct a survey of vehicles entering and transporting waste from the landfill site.
• The survey is to be conducted for a week (7 days) every quarter.
• To conduct each survey:
a. count the number of vehicles entering and transporting waste from the premises everyday for a week.
b. Record the vehicles according to their vehicle type (refer Section 2), waste stream and material composition code (refer Section 3).
c. At the end of each week multiply the number of vehicles by the appropriate weight factor (refer Section 2) to determine the tonnage of waste received and transported that week.
d. Add all four weeks data together for each waste stream and multiply by 13 to estimate the annual amount of waste received and transported.
4. Landfills with a total capacity of
Annual Audit and Compliance Report EN2011/0028-02~0003
e. Using the following conversion factors (derived from Perry 1984, Chemical engineer's handbook, sixth edition) convert the void space used during the reporting year to tonnes:
Waste Stream Density
(tonnes/m3) Municipal Waste 0.13 Commercial and Industrial 0.2 Construction and Demolition 0.7
If void space information is not available, method 3 must be used
Section 2 Weight conversion factors
Where a facility does not have a weighbridge installed, or where the waste arrives at a facility via a small vehicle such as a Car or Ute, the weight conversion factors set out below should be used to record the amounts of waste that enter or leave a facility. Vehicle Description Weight Factor
