sToc14Ton scavenGer . RSSOclaTion STOCKTON SCAVENGER RESOURCE RECOVERY STATION Stockton Scavenger Association since it' s inception over 50 years ago has been in the business of salvaging salable items. Originally this started as separation on the trucks while collect- ing residential and commercial refuse. As the cost of labor has increased the collection function and the recovery function have been separated. Today we are engaged in several types of recovery. 1. Residential Source Separation - where in residential customers are setting out newsprint next to the garbage cans - the collector is picking up the bundled paper and setting it on special racks on the collection trucks, this newsprint is then brought into the recovery center where is is baled in 950 pound bales and held for market. 2. Commercial Source Separation - is from commercial customers who separate cardboard. This cardboard is then picked up by separate trucks, taken to the recovery center and baled in 1100 pound bales and held for market. 3. Selected industrial drop boxes (those containing eighty percent recoverable material) are brought into the recovery center and emptied - the recoverable material is separated by hand and the remaining waste material is reloaded by a skip loader into a drop box and disposed of the same day at the City owned land- fill on Austin Road. Facility The Resource Recovery Building is metal clad steel frame build- ing with a sprinkler system. This 3000 square foot building is enclosed on three sides, to enclose a shredder - conveyor system and two bailers. The floor is concrete. The area is fully enclosed by fence. Average monthly recovery is as follows: ] Newsprint 23 to 30 tons o a Cardboard 115 to 210 tons Aluminum, other metals and glass OCT g 1977 SANS ; . t F.
