Pertinent data as to type of material, source, weight <br /> and vehicle are recorded. Unacceptable materials are rejected. <br /> Unloading -Acceptable materials are unloaded in a designated area and segregated by type such <br /> as yard waste, wood waste, animal manure and salvageable lumber. Sorters check the loads for <br /> unacceptable material and contaminants. <br /> Size-Reduction and Mixing - Materials are processed through a tub grinder where they are <br /> shredded and ground. Composting mixes are prepared in one process by alternating loads of <br /> various feedstocks into the grinder. <br /> Screening - Ground materials are screened into various sizes depending on the product to be <br /> produced. Contaminants are removed. <br /> Wood Products - Various products such as mulch, landscape chips, and co-generation fuel are <br /> stored or shipped off-site. <br /> L:1PR0JECr/39711.W1RC14.TCY December 15, 1993 <br />
