ACT 101 RECYCLING COMPLIANCE REPORT INSTRUCTIONS CHECKLIST

  1. This form is to be completed by commercial, municipal or institutional establishments in PA

    Commercial Establishment: An establishment engaged in non-manufacturing or non-processing business, including, but not limited to, stores, markets, office buildings, medical offices, restaurants, shopping centers and theaters.

    Municipal Establishment: An establishment engaged in government work including, but not limited to, offices of the federal government, state government, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships, counties and authorities.

    Institutional Establishment: An establishment engaged in service including, but not limited to, hospitals, nursing homes, orphanages, schools and universities.

    The information on this form will be used by the municipality where you are located to gauge your compliance with their recycling ordinance (if they have one) and to complete a recycling performance grant. The materials listed on the first page may be required by local ordinance to be recycled and, with the exception of the organics, can be used for the municipal recycling performance grant. The materials listed on the second page are common materials recycled, but they are not usually required to be recycled by local ordinance and cannot be used for the municipal recycling performance grant.

    The report is due to our office on or before February 8th.

  2. Please use the following checklist to complete form FM-11:
  3. You must attach a legible weight ticket from your recycler for any materials recycled on page 1
    **ENTER the GROSS WEIGHT of all material. DO NOT subtract processing residue before entering your tonnages on this form. Processing residue is material that is collected and weighed with recyclables, but is disposed rather than recycled. PA DEP has a formula it will use to subtract processing residue.

    DO NOT REPORT PROCESSING RESIDUES ON THIS FORM.

    If you deliver your materials commingled or single stream, please check the appropriate boxes to note the recyclable materials in the mix, but only enter the tonnage beside commingled or single stream. Do not estimate tonnages of each individual recyclable material in the commingled or single stream mix.
