Amok <br />The Recycling Center consists of a 65,000 square foot <br />building. The public and commercial waste is dumped onto a <br />common tipping floor. The tipping floor is approximately <br />eight feet below the commercial tipping area, four feet <br />below the public tipping area, and is approximately 35,000 <br />square feet. The waste is manually picked and sorted on the <br />tipping floor by County personnel and with front end <br />loaders.
