2.4 UNLOADING Unloading in the MRF at the commercial side is through mechanical unloading only. Unloading at the self-haul side is for both mechanical and manual unloading. MRF staff are present at all times on both the commercial and self-haul side of the MRF to direct incoming customers where to unload materials and maintain traffic control. MRF staff ensure that unloading is done according to facility safety guidelines and frequently check loads for prohibited and hazardous wastes. If any hazardous wastes are discovered in the stalls, then the area will be cordoned off and hazardous waste response plan procedures will be implemented. Customers will be directed to unload at the appropriate disposal areas. A MRF staff member will be present in the commercial and self-haul green waste, containerized self-haul recycling, carpet, and mattress unloading areas (Figure 2) upon receiving notification from the scale house of an incoming load. MRF staff will monitor for prohibited and hazardous waste during unloading at these areas. The unloading areas for green waste will be divided with concrete K-rails for safety and material separation. K-rails will also serve as safety barriers around the self-haul recycling area. Areas for unloading within the self-haul recycling area will be clearly marked with signage and white paint, and will be supervised by staff who will guide traffic and check loads. Bins will be emptied as needed. A small bin may be placed in this area to collect minimal amounts of residual waste that may be present in recycling loads. Stalls for unloading carpet and mattresses will be marked on the asphalt pavement with white paint. Before closing, LTS staff will load disposed carpet and mattresses into fully enclosed and covered trailers with locking doors. Cardboard will be placed in a designated bin. Green waste will be stockpiled in preparation for loading. The self-haul recycling area will be cleaned and inspected for litter at the end of each operating day. City of Manteca staff will guide the incoming food waste trucks in the MRF and inspect the load. Food waste trucks will mechanically unload food waste inside the MRF in a designed area (storage bunker) cordoned by steel or concrete walls (Figure 2). 2.5 PROCESSING 2.5.1 Separation Recyclable material recovered from commingled sources in the MRF are separated and pushed aside by loaders for further processing.
