locations, refuse workers separate the recyclable materials by hand and dispose in the <br /> designated 40-yard recycle bins. <br /> Source separated recyclable materials unloaded in the MRF are pushed to the south end of the <br /> tipping floor and then loaded into transfer trucks for delivery to the appropriate recycler. <br /> Recyclable materials unloaded in the self-haul recycling area will be processed according to <br /> material type. Bins will be picked up by a roll-off truck and taken to the appropriate staging and <br /> processing area as needed. Materials will be taken to the tipping floor to be sorted as needed <br /> and pushed into larger bins. Materials will be loaded for delivery to the appropriate recycler. <br /> Food waste arriving at LTS is source separated and will be handled according to the FWPOP <br /> (Appendix G). <br /> Prohibited wastes identified by MRF staff or equipment operators are separated and disposed of <br /> in the designated method. If hazardous wastes or spills are discovered, then MRF staff or <br /> equipment operators will notify Solid Waste Recovery Supervisors immediately. Lovelace <br /> hazardous waste program procedures will then be implemented. <br /> 2.5.2 Size Reduction <br /> Some non-recyclable material is suitable for direct deposit into a transfer vehicle. Other bulky <br /> non-recyclable material is reduced in size prior to depositing into a transfer truck. Size reduction <br /> is accomplished by compacting the refuse with size-reduction equipment in a designated <br /> compaction area (Figure 5). In that area, refuse is spread in layers approximately two feet thick, <br /> and the size-reduction equipment makes several passes. The refuse undergoes further visual <br /> inspection by the loader operators, then again by the size-reduction equipment operator. <br /> Except for times of equipment maintenance, the size-reduction equipment is parked on waste. <br /> The waste will be compacted and removed for disposal daily. <br /> Size-reduction equipment may include the following: loader, excavator, backhoe, Grizzly crane, <br /> compactor, and other material handling equipment. <br /> Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division <br /> Transfer Processing Report 15 County of San Joaquin <br /> April 16,2026 <br />
