3. EQUIPMENT3.1 Waste CharacterisationThe equipment used in the execution of the waste characterisation survey included thefollowing:• Access to the site’s wheeled-loader to transport, when necessary, samples ofwaste to the area designated for the analysis exercise.• One (1) Bench Scale• One (1) Crane Scale with a capacity of 125 kg• Five (5) Heavy-Duty Tarps,• Five (5) Shovels,• Five (5) Rakes,• Five (5) Hand Brooms,• Forty-five (45) waste containers – labeled for each sub-category of waste;• two (2) wheel-barrows• One (1) large canopy to provideshade and shelter during heavyrain• Twenty (20) traffic cones.• one (1) large First Aid Kit• one (1) eye-bath,• Personal Protective Equipment forthe ten staff members, including:o Over-alls;o Leather and latex gloves,o Rubber boots,o Disposable face masks• Portable wash-water facilitieswith soap and disinfectant.• Provision of drinking water andlunch for samplers each day plusregular rest-breaks in the shadebetween each sample analysis.3.2 Waste GenerationAll information pertaining to the wastegeneration study undertaken by SSDO isprovided within Attachment 5 at the endof this report.Photo 2 - weighing of waste samples using thebench-scales.Municipal solid waste composition analysis study – Juba, South Sudan 8
4. PROCEDURE4.1 Waste CharacterisationThe following procedures were followed in the execution of the waste characterizationexercise:1. The area within the Lagoon Site designated for the waste analysis exercise wasdemarcated using high visibility traffic-cones. This ensured the safety of the teamby preventing vehicles and mobile plant and equipment from randomly enteringthe area.2. The demarcated area was as flat as possible and in close proximity to the tippingcellfor ease of movement of waste between the two zones.3. The large tarps were spread on level ground within the designated area for theexercise. Their use was important to minimize the amount of contamination ofthe waste samples from the underlying soil.4. The forty-five (45) waste storage containers were each labeled with the wastecomponents selected for sampling and were arranged around the perimeter ofeach of the tarps.5. The tare weight of each of the containers was and recorded and periodically rechecked(2.2 kg average weight).6. The bench-scale was placed in the vicinity of the storage containers on a clean,flat wooden table.7. The accuracy of the scale was periodically checked using a known (reference)weight.Photo 3 – Tarps and labeled waste containers deployed within the designatedsampling areaMunicipal solid waste composition analysis study – Juba, South Sudan 9
