The refuse throughput for the MRF is based on loading an average of 20 trailers per day. Each <br />transfer trailer holds approximately 22 tons of waste. Therefore, the number of transfer trucks <br />per day multiplied by 22 equals a standard throughput of 440 tpd for the refuse MRF operation. <br />The maximum refuse throughput for the MRF is based on loading 32 trailers per day. Therefore, <br />the maximum number of transfer trucks per day multiplied by 22 equals a maximum throughput of <br />704 tpd for the refuse MRF operation. <br />2.9 Disposal of Solid Waste (Non -Recyclable Items) <br />Non -recyclable solid waste is deposited in refuse transfer vehicles, and transported to a disposal <br />facility permitted to receive this material. At this time, normal operations call for all non - <br />recyclable material to be transferred to the Foothill Sanitary Landfill. Other disposal facilities may <br />be used if the Foothill Landfill is not available. <br />This refuse is loaded into transfer trucks through the loading chute at the north end of the MRF <br />using an articulated "clam -shelf' loading arm. Refuse falls through the chute into a refuse <br />transfer vehicle located under an opening in the floor above the transfer tunnel. <br />Most refuse received in a day is <br />transferred <br />to a disposal facility that <br />same day; however, the <br />quantity of refuse received may <br />require that <br />material be stored in the <br />Transfer Station overnight. <br />2.10 TRANSFER RECOVERY, AND PROCESSING EQUIPMENT <br />The equipment on site serves operational and maintenance needs A detailed list of current <br />equipment is shown in (Table 4). <br />Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division <br />Transfer Processing Report County of San Joaquin <br />April 10, 2015 17 <br />
