II. COUNTY DISPOSAL SITE INFORMATION <br /> A. NORTH COUNTY RECYCLING CENTER AND SANITARY LANDFILL <br /> 1. General Information: <br /> This Class III landfill began operation in October of 1991. <br /> It is owned and operated by San Joaquin County utilizing <br /> Department of Public Works, Solid Waste Division staff. It is <br /> located on Harney Lane, between Tully and Jack Tone Roads, <br /> about ten miles east of the City of Lodi. It is about one and <br /> a half miles east of San Joaquin County's Harney Lane SL, which <br /> is currently in closure and post-closure stages. <br /> The North County Recycling Center and SL (NCRCSL) accepts waste <br /> between the hours of 7 : 00 a.m. and 5: 00 p.m. daily from the <br /> public as well as the franchised and licensed collectors for <br /> the North County Area. Approximately 343 tons of municipal, <br /> commercial and industrial wastes were accepted daily at the <br /> landfill during 1992 . Estimated remaining permitted landfill <br /> capacity for NCRCSL is projected to last through the year 2035. <br /> Waste loads coming into NCRCSL which. have not been through a <br /> transfer station with recycling programs are dumped on an <br /> enclosed tipping floor. County staff and Alternate Work Program <br /> (AWP) personnel manually sort recyclable material. The <br /> remaining waste is pushed into bins and transported to the <br /> landfill for disposal. Recycling will increase over time as <br /> markets are developed for recyclable material and additional <br /> personnel are allocated to this program. If necessary in the <br /> future, the recycling activities can be mechanized through the <br /> installation of a system of picking belts and mechanical <br /> separators. <br /> The Recycling Center provides bins for drop off of presorted <br /> recyclables which include aluminum cans, newspapers, clear and <br /> colored glass, steel cans, and polyethylene terepthalate (PET) <br /> and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic containers. The <br /> Recycling Center also houses a household hazardous waste (HHW) <br /> recycling program which accepts used motor oil, antifreeze, <br /> latex paint and spent lead-acid batteries from the public free <br /> of charge. <br /> 15 <br />
