After weigh-in, residential trucks will proceed to the Mixed <br /> Waste Processing MRF and back into the tipping area on the <br /> east side of the building. Distinct tipping areas (defined by <br /> portable concrete bunkers), and one or more of the four <br /> planned processing lines will be designated for the City. On- <br /> site traffic controllers will direct each truck to its designated <br /> tipping area. Signs in English and Spanish will also be posted <br /> with tipping instructions. In this way, the City's waste will be <br /> processed separately and diversion accurately allocated. <br /> Residential waste will be moved by loaders to the feed <br /> conveyors of the processing lines. Prior to sorting, source <br /> separated bags of yard waste will be separated from the <br /> mixed trash and loaded into roll-off bins for transport to the <br /> wood and yard waste grinding building. <br /> The feed conveyors will lead to an incline conveyor which <br /> will convey the waste up to an elevated sorting platform. The <br /> sorting platform is elevated to a height of approximately 20 ft. <br /> to allow roll-off bins to be positioned underneath. These lines <br /> will be manned by 8-16 sorters per shift. Sorters will recover <br /> recyclable material and drop it through slots in the sorting <br /> platform into the roll-offs staged below. <br /> At the end of processing the City's waste, the roll-offs will <br /> be transported to the Recyclable Material Processing Building <br /> where the material will be weighed, recorded, and prepared <br /> for market. Recovered materials will be weighed by material <br /> type. Anticipated recovery from the residential wastestream <br /> (single family homes) will be comprised primarily of portions <br /> of yard waste, corrugated containers, paper, glass, metal and <br /> plastic. <br /> 46 <br />
