For section 26 of the Act , definition weight measurement criteria , this section prescribes the weight measurement criteria to be used to measure waste or other material that is required to be measured under section 59 of the Act in the circumstances mentioned in section 60 (6) or 61 (2) of the Act . Unless subsection (6) applies, the weight of the waste or other material is based on the GVM or GCM of the type of vehicle used to deliver or move the waste or other material, as provided under subsection (3) or (4) . If the waste or other material is delivered or moved in a vehicle, the weight of the waste or other material is taken to be the weight, in tonnes, stated in schedule 4 , table 1, columns 3 to 11, according to the GVM or GCM of the vehicle, opposite the type of vehicle and the type of waste or other material. However, if the weight of the waste or other material for subsection (3) is more than the mass limit applying to the vehicle under the Heavy Vehicle (Mass, Dimension and Loading) National Regulation , schedules 1 and 2 (the mass limit of the vehicle ), the weight of the waste or other material is taken to be the mass limit of the vehicle. Subsection (6) applies if— all of the waste or other material is contained in 1 or more containers during the delivery or movement; and agricultural bin, cane haulout bin, skip bin, wheelie bin the capacity of each of the containers— is written on, or attached to, the container in a clearly visible place; or is evidenced by a document from the container’s manufacturer; or can be measured by reference to the dimensions of the container. The weight, in tonnes, of the waste or other material is worked out by— if all of the waste or other material is contained in a single container during the delivery or movement—multiplying the total capacity of the container, in cubic metres, by the weight multiplier stated in schedule 4 , table 2, column 3 opposite the type of waste; or A truck delivers a skip bin containing C&I. The skip bin has a capacity of 10 cubic metres. The volume of the waste in the skip bin is less than half the capacity of the skip bin. The weight of the waste is taken to be 0.8t. A truck delivers a skip bin containing C&I. The skip bin has a capacity of 10 cubic metres. The volume of the waste in the skip bin is more than half the capacity of the skip bin. The weight of the waste is taken to be 1.5t. if all of the waste or other material is contained in 2 or more containers during the delivery or movement—calculating the weight, in tonnes, of each of the individual containers, in accordance with paragraph (a) . s 25 amd 2025 SL No. 42 s 54 (sec.25-ssec.1) For section 26 of the Act , definition weight measurement criteria , this section prescribes the weight measurement criteria to be used to measure waste or other material that is required to be measured under section 59 of the Act in the circumstances mentioned in section 60 (6) or 61 (2) of the Act . (sec.25-ssec.2) Unless subsection (6) applies, the weight of the waste or other material is based on the GVM or GCM of the type of vehicle used to deliver or move the waste or other material, as provided under subsection (3) or (4) .

(sec.25-ssec.4) However, if the weight of the waste or other material for subsection (3) is more than the mass limit applying to the vehicle under the Heavy Vehicle (Mass, Dimension and Loading) National Regulation , schedules 1 and 2 (the mass limit of the vehicle ), the weight of the waste or other material is taken to be the mass limit of the vehicle. (sec.25-ssec.5) Subsection (6) applies if— all of the waste or other material is contained in 1 or more containers during the delivery or movement; and agricultural bin, cane haulout bin, skip bin, wheelie bin the capacity of each of the containers— is written on, or attached to, the container in a clearly visible place; or is evidenced by a document from the container’s manufacturer; or can be measured by reference to the dimensions of the container. (sec.25-ssec.6) The weight, in tonnes, of the waste or other material is worked out by— if all of the waste or other material is contained in a single container during the delivery or movement—multiplying the total capacity of the container, in cubic metres, by the weight multiplier stated in schedule 4 , table 2, column 3 opposite the type of waste; or A truck delivers a skip bin containing C&I. The skip bin has a capacity of 10 cubic metres. The volume of the waste in the skip bin is less than half the capacity of the skip bin. The weight of the waste is taken to be 0.8t. A truck delivers a skip bin containing C&I. The skip bin has a capacity of 10 cubic metres. The volume of the waste in the skip bin is more than half the capacity of the skip bin. The weight of the waste is taken to be 1.5t. if all of the waste or other material is contained in 2 or more containers during the delivery or movement—calculating the weight, in tonnes, of each of the individual containers, in accordance with paragraph (a) .
