Waste mass collected (kg)
Provisional. Usable pending approval; a project-proposed concept only by the project that proposed it.
Definition
The summed mass of the weighed quantities on facility weighing records dated in the reporting period, by material category and by the stream the project design assigns each category. A weighed quantity is one non-blank mass of one category, or of uncategorised material; a blank weight is absent, not zero. Uncategorised mass is reported as its own value and never assigned to a stream. Withdrawn records never count and a restatement counts in place of what it restates. No payment rule, exception or payability date applies to mass. Collection is not recovery: this indicator makes no claim about where the material went. Kind count.
purpose
To report how much waste the service brought to its facilities, by material, stream, facility and collector, as the base every recovery and GHG figure starts from.
rationale
Mass on a weighing record is the one quantity a scale evidences directly; summing weighed quantities at the finest grain, with uncategorised mass kept visible, lets any stream or material total be recomputed and checked.
