material from the next City and feed it into the sort line. Tin, <br /> HDPE, and PET will be exposed to a vacuum tube which will <br /> convey it across the building to elevated storage hoppers <br /> located next to the baler in-feed line. Each hopper will include <br /> a scale to weigh the amount of each material type sorted for <br /> that City. When enough of one material type has <br /> accumulated to bale the material it will be released from the <br /> hopper onto a recessed conveyor line which will feed the <br /> baler. Baled recyclables will be ejected out the baler and <br /> taken by forklift to the bale loading dock just east of the <br /> Recyclable Material Processing Building. <br /> Aluminum cans will also be recovered using vacuum tubes <br /> and conveyed to the north side of the building, weighed, <br /> crushed with a can crusher, and blown by air into a semi <br /> trailer which will deliver the cans to market. <br /> Bulky Item Recycling <br /> The City's bulky item collection program will be supported <br /> by the MRF. Bulky item loads received at the SAMRF will be <br /> directed to tip in the C&D building. Recyclable items will be <br /> separated from loads using a wheeled loader and loaded into <br /> roll-off bins stationed on the side of the tipping floor. <br /> Household appliances will be diverted and sold as scrap metal <br /> to approved processors to insure compliance with applicable <br /> regulations such as CFC removal. Wooden furniture will be <br /> taken to the wood processing building and put through the <br /> grinder. Bulky items that have minimal re-use or recycling <br /> value will be pushed to the transfer pit and taken to local <br /> landfills for disposal. <br /> 51 <br />
