The tipping and waste handling area is confined by steel "crush walls" which serve to contain the waste within a discreet area and assist in the loading operation. Waste received at the transfer station is tipped on the floor between the crush walls . A caterpillar 920 wheel loader then consolidates the waste and loads it into the hopper of a stationary compactor, The compactor is then used to compact the refuse into a closed 40 cubic - yard roll-off container which when full, is transferred to Foothill landfill, Harney Lane landfill, City of Stockton landfill , Forward Inc . landfill or Lovelace Transfer Station.
