Arterial Waste <br /> Waste collected from City-owned solid waste containers on City <br /> streets will be received at the facility and processed over the <br /> commercial sorting lines to recover recyclable materials, such as <br /> mixed paper, and plastic, glass, and metal containers. <br /> Weighing of Materials <br /> The Sunset Environmental MRF will be equipped to provide accurate <br /> weights for diversion and disposal for the City of Santa Ana. This will be <br /> accomplished by physically segregating the City's wastestream from the <br /> wastestream of other cities using the facility. <br /> All incoming trucks will be asked to state the City of origin for their load <br /> when they weigh in on the incoming scale. Truck drivers will also be asked <br /> to state the source of the waste collected (residential, commercial, <br /> industrial). This information will be logged on the facility computer. At the <br /> end of each day, truck weights will be totalled for the City and will be <br /> broken down by source. <br /> After weighing in, trucks with material containing recyclables will be <br /> directed to an area designated for the City of Santa Ana only. This area will <br /> be physically segregated using portable concrete barriers. Trucks with little <br /> or no recyclables will be directed to tip next to the transfer ramp where the <br /> waste will be transferred for disposal. <br /> After a sufficient quantity of material has accrued for the City, the <br /> residential and commercial processing lines will be cleared of all waste from <br /> other cities and only that from the City of Santa Ana will be processed. All <br /> recyclables recovered from the Santa Ana wastestream will be segregated <br /> for the City. When the facility is through processing Santa Ana's waste <br /> each day, the bins will be weighed and recorded. From this data it will be <br /> possible to identify the type, quantity, and source of material diverted from <br /> the City. <br /> 39 <br />
