Material Allocation Process for Multiple Programs

The Material Allocation Process for Multiple Programs application applies to Processors (PR) and/or Recycling Centers (RC) purchasing materials directly from more than one curbside program (CS), dropoff or collection program (CP), or community service program (SP).

Processors and Recycling Centers in this situation can apply to the Division requesting an alternative method for preparing the corresponding shipping reports for each program, instead of completing a shipping report (DR6) for each load received.

In order for a request to be accepted, it must be based on a reasonable method for allocating materials to the programs. To be reasonable the Processor and/or Recycling Center:

• Will use the received weight of the material purchased by an entity from the requesting PR and/or RC to calculate allocations to the curbside programs, dropoff or collection programs, or community service programs.

• Can ensure the weight of rejected containers, line breakage, and out-of-state containers are not included in the allocated weight.

• Can account for each incoming load of material.

• Inspects incoming material to verify it is eligible for refund value payments.
