All Recyclable Material delivered must meet an input specification and all loads will be checked upon discharge.

(b) The sorting equipment is located in the adjacent area of the building.

Schedule 4 25 of 45


PART 2


4.8.2 Stage 2 – Recyclable Material loading and sorting

(a) A loading shovel manoeuvres Recyclable Material into a sunken-pit, which feeds an in-feed conveyor.

(b) The in-feed conveyor takes Recyclable Material onto an elevating conveyor where it is fed onto a cardboard screen. This segregates cardboard and other larger items (overs) from the remaining smaller items of paper/card and the containers (unders) fall through the screen.

(c) The overs (predominantly brown corrugated card) proceed along conveyors to a sorting cabin where a quality check is undertaken to remove contras from the card stream. Card runs off (negatively sorted) the sorting conveyor and into the relevant storage area below the sorting line.

(d) The unders (other paper/card and containers) items pass via a series of screens, which remove fines (small items of residue) according to size.

(e) The remaining Recyclable Materials then pass over a series of screens. The aim of these screens is to separate automatically the bulk of the newspapers and magazines from the remaining mixed paper & packaging grey / brown card and the containers. Through a combination of the screens, manual quality control checks and auto-sort technology, the majority of the Recyclable Material is negatively sorted into the targeted grades.

(f) The conveyor configuration is designed to ensure that the newspapers and magazines and mixed paper/card are delivered into the appropriate storage area.

(g) The containers left after the paper / card-screening process are then automatically diverted to an adjacent sorting line.

(h) A conveyor takes the containers (plastic bottles and ferrous & aluminium cans) past a magnetic separator that automatically removes steel food and drinks cans.

(i) The remaining Recyclable Material then passes through a bottle-perforator before the plastic bottles are automatically removed as a mixed grade. Remaining aluminium cans are removed by eddy current and subjected to a final manual quality check.

(j) All segregated Recyclable Materials are stored in bunkers adjacent to the sorting line.

Schedule 4 26 of 45


PART 2


4.8.3 Stage 3 – Recyclable Material storage and transfer management

The sorted Recyclable Materials, when there are sufficient quantities, are then sent to the appropriate reprocessor. In order to do this in a cost-effective manner and to meet reprocessors’ requirements, the Recyclable Materials are handled as follows:

(a) newspapers & magazines are loose-loaded into bulk haulage trailers using a 360° loading grab. The facility has the flexibility to add a baler to the plant in the event that it is either financially advantageous or operationally beneficial to bale the newspapers and magazines;

(b) cardboard and mixed papers are fed stored in bunkers before transfer to a dedicated paper and card baler;

(c) sorted plastic bottles, ferrous and aluminium cans are fed into dedicated balers situated below each material sort station;

(d) once baled, the relevant Recyclable Materials are then transferred by forklift to a covered storage area;

(e) residues from the sorting process are stored in a residue handling area and are then fed by conveyor to be automatically compacted into a Rolonoff container or removed by loose-loaded bulk container;

(f) a side of the building will be allocated solely for Recyclable Materials storage. Appropriate areas will be set aside to enable up to 3-day storage of sorted and processed Recyclable Materials.

4.8.4 Stage 4 - Process Residues

The Contractor will dispose of any residues from the MRF.

4.9 Emergency procedures/disaster recovery plan

Schedule 4 41 of 45


PART 2


Purpose of Specification The purpose of this input specification ("Input Specification") is to set a standard for the materials delivered to the Contractor which it will process through the MRF under the terms of the Contract. The Input Specification applies to the materials at the point of delivery ("delivery point").

1. Terms of Reference This Input Specification has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Contract 2. Recyclable Materials

This Input Specification, together with Appendix B, defines those collected partially segregated dry recyclables that the Contractor will or will not accept for processing through the MRF under the terms of the Contract.

Appendix “B” details those materials constituting collected partially segregated dry recyclables, how they should be presented, their required quality and a procedure for evaluating whether material delivered to the MRF conforms to this Input Specification.In Appendix B:

2.1 the "Commodity" column lists the broad commodity definitions as exampled 2.2 the "Range" column classifies the commodity in terms of specific materials 2.3 the "Targeted" column identifies materials to be targeted for collection and delivery to the Contractor for segregation 2.4 the "Contamination" column lists materials which constitute contamination and the

presence of which may give rise to load rejection. 2.5 the "Load Evaluation" column describes criteria under which loads will be evaluated

as complying with this Input Specification and therefore as acceptable for processing 2.6 the "Presentation" column describes the form in which incoming material has to be

delivered to enable the MRF to operate in accordance with the Service Delivery Plan relating to the MRF.

Schedule 4 42 of 45


PART 2


3. Failure to meet Input Specification- Load Rejection Procedure 3.1 Any loads failing to meet this Input Specification, after evaluation, shall be sent for

disposal by the Contractor at a Landfill Site or the Newhaven ERP 3.2 The Contractor shall be responsible for monitoring deliveries for compliance with this

Input Specification as outlined in the flow chart in Appendix “C”. Except in cases of urgency any loads considered by the Contractor to be potentially rejectable shall be put to one side, the Councils and (where appropriate) the relevant WCA informed and the load held for 24 hours or greater time if agreed between the Contractor, the Councils and (where appropriate) the relevant WCA to enable the Project Director and/or the WCA representative to inspect same. Where this is not possible the Contractor shall seek the agreement of the Councils to dispose of the load before doing so.

3.3 In all cases where a load is rejected by the Contractor without the Councils’

agreement because it fails to meet this Input Specification, the Contractor shall provide the Councils and the relevant WCA with evidence of the reasons why the Contractor considered the load had failed to meet this Input Specification. This shall include photographs, and where appropriate a sample of the waste, demonstrating failure.

3.4 The procedure to determine if a load complies with the Input Specification is contained in Appendix “C”. 4. Breach of Site Licence Conditions 4.1 Any load which breaches the relevant Waste Management Licence may be rejected in

accordance with the procedures contained in Appendix “C”. The contractor will inform the Project Director and the relevant WCA (if any) immediately, by fax or telephone.

4.2 The contaminated material will be treated in accordance with paragraph 3.1 above

within a time scale agreeable to the Environment Agency.

Schedule 4 43 of 45


PART 2


5. Input Specification Evaluation Procedures

Delivered materials will be evaluated using the criteria contained in Appendix “B” using the flow chart contained in Appendix “C”.

Materials for processing shall be presented as set down in appendix “B” and shall comply with the following specification:

5.1 Bulk Density 5.1.1 Materials should not be delivered in an over compacted condition. Where the

Contractor can show that materials are regularly delivered compacted to a level which prevents normal sorting methods being carried out, the Contractor may request a review of the method of collection with the WCA.

5.2 Contaminated Material 5.2.1 Each load of dry recyclables should contain less than 2% by weight of contamination

as detailed in Appendix “B” 5.3 Unwanted Material 5.3.1 The Councils shall use their reasonable endeavours to ensure that quantities of

unwanted materials are not such that they prejudice the ability of the Contractor to process materials.

6 Point of Responsibility 6.1 Once materials have been delivered to the delivery point and the delivery vehicle has

discharged its load, the materials may be subject to visual inspection by the Contractor as indicated in the load evaluation flow chart - Appendix “C”. Once the Contractor has accepted that this material is within the Input Specification, this material becomes the responsibility of the Contractor.

6.2 Loads will be deemed to have been accepted as being within this Input Specification

by the Contractor once the delivery vehicle has left the MRF unless the Contractor has

Schedule 4 44 of 45


PART 2


indicated otherwise on the delivery ticket given to the driver for that load, prior to the vehicle leaving the MRF.

7 Controlled Processing 7.1 Where the Contractor and the Councils fail to agree that a load does or does not

comply with this Input Specification the load shall be subject to further analysis, known as Controlled Processing, as referred to in Appendix C.

Controlled Processing shall involve the processing of an agreed sample (or whole load in the event of failure to agree a sample) to determine the weight of contamination and shall be undertaken by an independent third party agreed between the Parties. Where Controlled Processing determines that a load failed to meet this specification the costs of the Controlled Processing shall be borne by the Councils, otherwise the costs of the Controlled Processing shall be borne by the Contractor.

8. Presentation 8.1 Collected Dry Recyclables 8.1.1 The method of presentation for Partially Segregated Dry Recyclables is as follows: Delivered - Loose (not contained in bags/boxes etc.) 8.1.2 In the event that a WCA requires to deliver Recyclable Material to the MRF using a

new collection method and such new collection method incurs the Contractor in extra cost, the Contractor shall not accept such Recyclable Material unless the new collection method is approved by the Councils, in which case clause 24 shall apply.
