3.2.1.4 Agricultural Plastic Recycling <br /> LTS hosts bi-monthly Agricultural Pesticide Container Collection Events for growers to bring <br /> triple-rinsed, punctured agricultural containers free of charge. A recycler arrives at LTS and <br /> chips the plastic and then hauls the plastic away for remanufacturing into new containers, <br /> recycled lumber, etc. <br /> 3.2.1.5 Medical Wastes <br /> Medical waste is not accepted unless it has undergone autoclave treatment. <br /> 3.2.1.6 Waste Oil <br /> Waste oil is accepted from the public and is stored in a double walled 1,000 gallon tank located <br /> at the north end of the MRF (Figure 4). The oil is removed by an environmental contactor on a <br /> regular basis as the amount of oil approaches tank capacity. This occurs once every 2 to 3 <br /> weeks on average. <br /> 3.2.2 Storage of Salvaged or Recycled Materials <br /> All recyclable materials after being processed are stored in containers and bins. Containers for <br /> glass are located outside the MRF. <br /> All recovered wood waste is stored on a concrete floor adjacent to the western wall of the MRF <br /> and transported to wood processor for processing. <br /> When the maximum storage capacity for a given material is approached, the appropriate recycler <br /> is contacted to remove that material from the site. Some materials such as precious metals, <br /> plastics and cardboard are received in quantities that require that they remain on-site more than <br /> 48 hours. <br /> The following average storage limits and capacities are presented below for various recyclable <br /> items at the designated processing areas: <br /> Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division <br /> Transfer Processing Report 26 County of San Joaquin <br /> April 16,2026 <br />
