- 11. Simplicity is Key The key to the entire project is aggregation Aggregation is the method of pulling material together How will we aggregate materials? Two choices: Lumping or Splitting Each state has its own method of labeling Leverage existing collection methods Materials are the same, its how we label and lump them together Survey the States

- 15. Aggregation Benefits Aggregation occurs at several levels Commodity By Sector By Government Aggregation allows for: Better Filtering of Data Improved Reporting Data Mining Benchmarking Projections and trending
- 16. Sector Definitions Residential Sector 1.) Post consumer recycling from inhabited dwellings; 2.) Materials directly managed by local governments as this is the most reliable; 3.) Materials generated by the general public at large.
- 17. Sector Definitions Commercial Sector 1.) Created from doing business in retail sales including supply chain. 2.) Materials from commercial office space from business complexes, and other office buildings.
- 18. Sector Definitions Industrial Sector 1.) Any material generated on site at a manufacturing plant 2.) Standard Industrial Code (SIC code) would be used to determine the appropriate sector, helping to differentiate between Commercial and Industrial sectors.

Editor's Notes
- Commercial Sector - Examples would include big box stores, grocery stores, restaurants, storefront operations, etc. Events from sports arenas and stadiums that are repetitive would be considered retail sales. This would include government generated material that cannot be separated out that may be mixed with other commercially generated material.
- Temporary logins with read only ability can facilitate data requests and report reviews and free up staff time -Very easy to deliver a standard waste/recycling survey and receive back uniform data without the need for any mailing, forms or state side data entry.-Because there is no rekeying of data from multiple sources, eliminates errors in reporting.-Time Spent Collecting & Analyzing of Recycling/Solid Waste Data has been reduced roughly 75% with improved accuracy.-County/City Officials are more apt to provide good data as system takes them less time enter and submit vs. filling out paper forms, and manipulating stand along databases or spreadsheets for example.-When errors do occur, they can be spotted instantly since often previous years data is presented on same screen. And corrections can be made just as easy.-Time and Author stamps on most data screens provide answers to who entered the data a when.-In our case replaced need for keeping separate contacts database, numerical waste databases, and physical files of forms and reports.-Anyone with a PC and a internet connection can research past values, (i.e. at conference or event and someone wants to know how much their community recycled last year)-Even computer novices have managed to use it. Of course cons....but we can keep these to ourselves. -Sometimes slow-Hard to enter large amounts of data stateside-Don't own or control database, so can be non-dynamic at times (a bit rigid)-Once Emerge gets paid, production and service slows down....
