Residential Waste (Multi-Family Units) <br /> Residential waste from multi-family units (apartments and <br /> condominiums) is collected by front loaders similar to commercial <br /> waste from offices, retail stores, service stations, and others using <br /> bin service. Processing will be identical to that for commercial waste. <br /> Commercial Waste <br /> Commercial collection vehicles will enter the west gate of the <br /> facility and weigh-in on the computerized 70 ft. scale previously <br /> described. After weighing-in, the commercial collection trucks will be <br /> directed to the commercial tipping area on the west side of the site. <br /> They will be instructed to tip in a designated tipping area defined by <br /> portable concrete bunkers. Waste collected from City government <br /> buildings will be processed as commercial waste. <br /> After tipping, the line will be cleared for City of Santa Ana waste <br /> processing only. This will enable the facility to keep accurate <br /> diversion records by weight and material type for the City. The <br /> commercial waste will be manually sorted on the tipping floor to <br /> remove large pieces of wood, corrugated containers, film plastic, and <br /> other bulky items. A wheeled loader will push the City's waste onto <br /> a recessed feed conveyor where it will be conveyed up to the <br /> elevated sorting platform. <br /> The commercial sorting line is 70 ft. long and has a throughput <br /> capacity of 20 tons per hour. Facility personnel will manually recover <br /> recyclable material from the wastestream as it is conveyed down the <br /> line and drop it through slots into roll-off containers positioned below. <br /> Materials to be recovered will include: yard waste, wood,corrugated <br /> containers, various grades of paper, glass, metals, and plastics. <br /> 37 <br />
