2. Hazards Created: <br /> Diversion of wastes from the tipping floor of a <br /> transfer station or from the face of a landfill does <br /> involve dangers from working around the heavy equipment <br /> and vehicles at the site. <br /> MRFs can be designed and operated to minimize these <br /> hazardous. <br /> 3. Ability to Accommodate Changing Political, Social and <br /> Economic Conditions: <br /> The County can control the sorting and removal of <br /> materials at a MRF, and can fairly quickly adjust the <br /> sorting to remove more or less from the waste stream and <br /> to add or delete a waste type from the diversion <br /> operation. Thus the MRF program is able to accommodate <br /> change. <br /> A salvage program is very flexible, and can target <br /> any type of item depending on what is marketable at the <br /> time. <br /> 4. Consequences of the Program on Waste Types: <br /> MRFs are designed to separate materials at the <br /> disposal site, or at the end of the product cycle. As <br /> such, they are not likely to have much of an impact on <br /> the types of waste generated. They could however, <br /> greatly reduce the quantities of waste ultimately <br /> disposed of. <br /> A salvage program is also unlikely to affect any <br /> type of waste generated. <br /> Chapter 4 - Recycling 35 <br />
