3-4 3.1.2.1 Cleaning The transfer station building and facility grounds are cleaned of loose materials and litter each operating day in accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17407.2(a)(1). The recyclable materials and/or wastes are dumped on the floor in the RRF building; therefore, litter is not allowed to escape. Additionally, employees pick up any litter before it becomes a problem. The entrance and exits and paved areas of the station are kept clean to prevent the tracking or off-site migration of waste materials in accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17407.2(b). Loose materials, litter cleanup, and general housekeeping are accomplished by employee duty assignments with daily inspections to assure compliance.
