0 7.5.3 Other Non -Hazardous Recycled Materials <br />Tires are manually separated from the refuse, and stockpiled in the Tire Trailer west of the tipping <br />floor (Plate 20). When this trailer is full, it is removed by a commercial recycler. <br />Yard waste, including wood, branches, tree and bush trimmings, if received in sufficient quantities <br />and concentration to allow recovery, are stored in a bin adjacent to the "Z" wall before emptying <br />at the wood/yard waste area south of the Recycling Center (Plates 2 and 22). <br />Construction and Demolition Waste (C&D), including concrete, lumber, roofing materials, and <br />other debris from construction and demolition activities, may be retained on site for use in <br />constructing roads, winter pads, or for other beneficial reuse. <br />Engine blocks are drained of oil over a lipped containment table specially designed to catch and <br />contain oil. The engine blocks are placed in the appropriate metals recycling bin and taken offsite <br />by a commercial recycler. Engine oil captured in the process is deposited in the Recycling <br />Center's spent oil tank, which is periodically emptied by a commercial recycler. Note that <br />customers are urged to drain all oil from engine blocks before disposal at the facility. <br />Appliances, including refrigeration and non -refrigeration units, washers and dryers, contain <br />materials that must be removed by a Certified Appliance Recycler (CAR) prior to recycling. If an <br />appliance arrives with a CAR certification indicating all materials requiring special handling have <br />been properly removed, then the appliance is placed in the "tin bin" (low -value steel and mixed <br />metal). If the appliance does not have documentation that these materials have been properly <br />removed, then the appliance is staged on site until a CAR contracted with the County can remove <br />those materials from the appliance, after which these appliances are also placed in the "tin bin". <br />Precious metals, including copper, aluminum and chrome, are placed in a designated bin. When <br />the bin is full, the material is taken off-site by a commercial recycler. <br />Agricultural Plastics, such as plastic agricultural pesticide containers, are occasionally received at <br />the NCRC&SL during agricultural pesticide container collection events held periodically. Growers <br />may deliver triple -rinsed, punctured agricultural containers free of charge to the landfill where the <br />01 containers are compacted and removed from the site for recycling elsewhere.
