The remaining waste is pushed into 100 cubic yard transfer <br /> trailers and hauled to approved county landfill sites. <br /> The plastics and cardboard are pushed to the baler for processing. Newspaper, cans, <br /> metals, rock and rubble and other recyclables are stored in the areas shown on Figure <br /> 5 and shipped to market on a regular basis. <br /> Wood and brush is crushed with the Caterpillar tractor at the resource recovery area and <br /> shipped off site to be ground for fuel.
