(a) Certified processors shall inspect each load of containers, subject to the Act, delivered to the processor, for which refund value is claimed, to determine whether the load is eligible for any refund value and, if so, to determine whether the load is segregated or commingled, as follows:

(b) In addition to the requirements of section 2110 of these regulations, a load of aluminum material shall be deemed not eligible for any refund value if there are pieces of broken, densified bales or biscuits of aluminum beverage containers within the load. This does not include cans which have merely been flattened. A load of plastic material shall be deemed not eligible for any refund value, if pieces of bales of plastic are found in the load.

(c) Once eligibility is determined, payment shall be calculated pursuant to section 2430 of these regulations.

(d) All out-of-state material, whether labeled with the message required in Section 14561 of the Act or not, and all rejected and line breakage containers are not eligible for any refund value payments.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 2530(b)(1) of these regulations, a certified processor shall not inspect, weigh or receive a load of material subject to the Act from a recycling center unless and until the shipper's section of the shipping report is completed and accompanies the load of material delivered to the certified processor's site.

(f) All rejected, line breakage or out-of-state containers in the load, whether labeled or not with the message required in Section 1451 of the Act, must be excluded from the received weight of the load.
