Some non-recyclable material is suitable for direct deposit into a transfer vehicle. Other bulky <br /> non-recyclable material is reduced in size prior to depositing into a transfer truck. Size reduction <br /> i <br /> is accomplished by compacting the refuse by a wheeled compactor in a designated compaction <br /> j area (Figure 5). In that area, refuse is spread in layers approximately two feet thick, and the <br /> compactor makes several passes. The refuse undergoes further visual inspection by the loader <br /> operators,then again by the compactor operator. <br /> Except for times of equipment maintenance, the compactor is parked on waste: The waste will be <br /> compacted and removed for disposal daily. <br /> 2 <br /> C <br /> G? <br /> L <br /> Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division <br /> { Transfer Processing Report County of San Joaquin <br /> August 28,2015 12 <br />
