The refuse throughput for the MRF is based on loading an average of 20 trailers per day. Each <br /> transfer trailer holds approximately 22 tons of waste. Therefore, the number of transfer trucks <br /> per day multiplied by 22 equals a standard throughput of 440 tpd for the refuse MRF operation. <br /> The maximum refuse throughput for the MRF is based on loading 32 trailers per day. Therefore, <br /> the maximum number of transfer trucks per day multiplied by 22 equals a maximum throughput of <br /> 704 tpd for the refuse MRF operation. <br /> 2.9 Disposal of Solid Waste (Non-Recyclable Items) <br /> Non-recyclable solid waste is deposited in refuse transfer vehicles, and transported to a disposal <br /> facility permitted to receive this material. At this time, normal operations call for all non- <br /> recyclable material to be transferred to the Foothill Sanitary Landfill. Other disposal facilities may <br /> be used if the Foothill Landfill is not available. <br /> This refuse is loaded into transfer trucks through the loading chute at the north end of the MRF <br /> using an articulated "clam-shell' loading arm. Refuse falls through the chute into a refuse <br /> transfer vehicle located under an opening in the floor above the transfer tunnel. <br /> Most refuse received in a day is transferred to a disposal facility that same day; however, the <br /> quantity of refuse received may require that material be stored in the Transfer Station overnight. <br /> 2.10 TRANSFER RECOVERY, AND PROCESSING EQUIPMENT <br /> The equipment on site serves operational and maintenance needs A detailed list of current <br /> equipment is shown in (Table 4). <br /> Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division <br /> Transfer Processing Report County of San Joaquin <br /> April 10,2015 17 <br />
