It was the aim of the study to assess the sampling volume and the costs that would be required to monitor NiCd-batteries in municipal solid waste. The following tasks have been carried out: 1. Identification of relevant waste streams, i.e. waste streams containing relevant amounts of NiCd batteries; 2. Selection of appropriate sampling strategies for the relevant waste streams; 3. Determination of the cost-affecting parameters; 4. Development of a sampling plan for the relevant waste streams; 5. Assessment of the monitoring costs.
