Residential Waste (Multi-Family Units) <br /> Residential waste from multi-family units (apartments and <br /> condominiums) is collected by front loaders with commercial <br /> waste from offices, retail stores, service stations, and others <br /> using bin service. Processing will be identical to that for <br /> commercial waste. Multi-family homes may participate in a <br /> bag program for yard waste and the bags will be pulled out <br /> of the mixed waste for grinding. Depending on the type of <br /> program instituted for multi-family (separate bins or bags), <br /> yard waste from multi-family units may go directly to the <br /> Green and Wood Waste Processing Building for grinding. <br /> Commercial Waste <br /> Elevated conveyor sorting lines and other manual <br /> methods will be used to separate and sort loads of <br /> commercial waste. Materials to be recovered will include: <br /> wood, corrugated containers, various grades of paper, glass, <br /> metals, and plastics. <br /> Front loaders collecting commercial waste will enter the <br /> site through the east gate and weigh in on the 70 ft. scales. <br /> They will then proceed to the Mixed Waste Processing facility <br /> where the trash will be tipped in designated area for the City. <br /> The commercial waste will be manually sorted on the <br /> tipping floor to remove yardwaste, large pieces of wood, <br /> corrugated, film plastic, and other bulky items. Loads with <br /> significant quantities of recoverable recyclables will be moved <br /> by loaders to one of four in-feed conveyors that will convey <br /> the material to elevated sorting platforms. Marketable mixed <br /> and special grades of paper, glass, plastics, and metals will <br /> be manually removed. <br /> 47 <br />
