1. When will the Lovelace MRF close? When will it open main? Lovelace MRF will close after 5:00 pm. on Saturday, Dec 15, 2007. We plan to open the Lovelace again on Wednesday, January 2, 2008 at 7:00 am. 2. Why is the Lovelace closing? The Lovelace MRF, as it is now, has been in use almost every day since 1995. It is showing signs of age and wear. It needs repair. We can repair it faster and safer if the MRF is closed. 3. What are you repairing? Most of the work will be to the tipping floor at Lovelace. The west side (Commercial) and east side (Self Haul) will be fixed with a harder blend of concrete made for these buildings. We will fix or replace the metal plates along the sides of the tip floor. The center part of the floor does not need repair because it is not used as much. We will widen the sidewalk along the east side (Self Haul). This will give more space to unload vehicles and sort items for recycling. 4. What is a tipping floor? The tipping floor is the lowered "pit" inside of the Lovelace MRF where all items are tipped. 5. Will gate fees be increased to pay for the repairs? No. The money for this work comes from a bond issued in 2003. Payment of the bond is part of gate fee. 6. What do I do with my load that I usually take to the Lovelace? You have four options (see maps on back for locations, phone numbers and operating hours): Tracy -Delta Disposal Transfer Station North County Recycling Center (N.C.R.C.) 30703 South MacArthur Drive 17720 East Harney Lane Tracy, CA 95377 Lodi, CA 95240 Central Valley Disposal Transfer Station Foothill Sanitary Landfill 1333 East Turner Road 6484 Waverly Road Lodi, CA 95240 Linden, CA 95236 7. 1 only go to Lovelace and have not been to N.C.R.C. before? Will N.C.R.C. handle my business? Yes. N.C.R.C. has the same type of building as Lovelace MRF. The cashiers at N. C. R. C. will be able to help you. They will give you directions once you putt up to the gate. Commercial and Licensed haulers regularly using Lovelace have been sent a letter via US Mail about account privileges. 8.
