3.2 STORAGE AND REMOVAL OF SALVAGED MATERIAL <br /> 3.2.1 Materials Separation and Sorting <br /> The LTS is designed to accept and process commercial, industrial, and household self-haul <br /> refuse material, including garbage, trash, and recyclable materials such as yard waste, wood <br /> waste, construction/demolition waste, agricultural waste, commingled recyclables, electronic <br /> waste such as televisions, computers and copy machines, white goods such as refrigerators, <br /> freezers and air conditioning units, tires, agricultural pesticide containers, and household <br /> hazardous waste. In the future, other materials may be added to the recyclable stream based on <br /> emerging State of California requirements. <br /> Commingled recyclable material is deposited on the MRF tipping floor either from the commercial <br /> side or the self-haul side. Upon reaching the tipping floor, materials which are hand sorted will <br /> be pushed by a loader to recycling bins located beneath a "Z" wall at the south end of the facility. <br /> The remaining refuse is pushed into transfer trucks through a loading chute, an opening in the <br /> north side of the tipping floor. Refuse entering the waste stream from the self-haul side is <br /> unloaded by the customer from the vehicles under the scrutiny of refuse workers assigned to the <br /> area. Electronic waste, tires and household hazardous wastes are set aside prior to reaching the <br /> tipping floor and relocated to the appropriate staging area for dismantling and processing. <br /> The following materials may be unloaded by self-haul users in the self-haul recycling area: white <br /> goods, tires, metals, e-waste, clean wood, cardboard, carpets, and mattresses. Materials will be <br /> relocated to appropriate areas for processing and disposal, as needed. <br /> 3.2.1.1 White Goods <br /> White Goods including refrigerators and other appliances are unloaded by customers in the"Self <br /> -Haul Disposal Area" or the self-haul recycling area and moved by County Staff to the active <br /> White Goods/Appliances Staging Processing Area (Figure 4). Refrigerant is removed from <br /> refrigerators and freezers by a private contractor before units are processed as White Goods. <br /> Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division <br /> Transfer Processing Report 24 County of San Joaquin <br /> April 16,2026 <br />
