Thanks for your explanation, Rogier.  There are certainly complications to
calculating output and contribution to reducing MSW for disposal, if non
compostables are being stored on site, and previously produced compost is
added in to figures as a later stage!  I think these practices warrant a
footnote in your paper.  Eventually, the non-compostables at both sites
have to go somewhere, and that will be to garbage dumps, or, worse still,
into the urban or peri-urban environment.

And thanks for your greetings!

Chris
