Report of Composting Site Information <br /> Tracy Material Recovery& Transfer Facility <br /> 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, Ca. 95377 <br /> Green Waste <br /> "Green Waste" means any plant material that is separated at the point of generation <br /> that may contain up to 5.0 percent of physical contaminants by weight. Green waste <br /> includes, but is not limited to, yard trimmings, untreated wood wastes, natural fiber <br /> products, and construction and demolition wood waste. This definition is provided as a <br /> generic, industry-accepted term and is not intended as equivalent to "green material" <br /> described in Title 14, Section 17852(a)(21), which may also be utilized in this document, <br /> is accepted at the facility, and also falls within the definition of green waste. <br /> Food Waste <br /> • Co-collected Organics <br /> Co-collected organic (CCO) materials consisting of residential green waste commingled <br /> with up to 15% post-consumer food waste may be accepted; this feedstock would be <br /> derived from residential food scrap collection programs (described below in Table 1) <br /> that may be instituted in local jurisdictions to increase landfill diversion. <br /> Table 1. Typical Acceptable Items for Co-Collected Organics (CCO) Programs <br /> Yes No <br /> All Residentially-Generated Commingled Inert materials and plastic products <br /> Food Waste Products with Green Material including: <br /> including: • Plastic (bags, containers, <br /> • Fruit, vegetable, breads, cereal, dairy Styrofoam etc) <br /> • Meat, fish (including bones) • Glass <br /> • Leftovers & table scraps • Metal <br /> • Coffee grounds, filters & tea bags • Liquids <br /> • Food-soiled paper <br /> • Paper towels, plates & napkins <br /> • Pizza boxes <br /> • Compostable plastic bags <br /> • Compostable food service ware <br /> • Source-separated food waste <br /> Commercial loads of food waste containing both pre-consumer and post-consumer food <br /> scraps from food processors, restaurants, grocery stores or other food service <br /> operations, may also be accepted. Source-separated food waste from commercial <br /> sources may be mixed with green waste to achieve an optimum ratio of carbon to <br /> nitrogen. Agricultural sources, such as grape pomace, may also be accepted. Materials <br /> containing food waste — other than the residentially co-collected material — will be <br /> composted utilizing a covered aerated static pile system, and could include compost <br /> feedstocks containing as much as 40% food waste. <br /> Anaerobic Digestion Digestate <br /> The facility may also accept digestate from the anaerobic decomposition of food and <br /> green waste. <br /> 8 <br />
