<br /> <br />Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division <br />Transfer Processing Report 26 County of San Joaquin <br />September 16, 2024 <br /> <br />Wastes requiring special handling or treatment, with the exception of tires, are not generally <br />accepted. Whole tires will be segregated from the waste stream by hand and stacked (laced <br />fashion) when deposited in a trailer. The tires will be transported off-site by Lovelace for disposal <br />and /or recycling. A loading dock is constructed in the south end of the tipping/sorting floor <br />entrance for loading tires onto the trailer. Copies of manifests are kept in the cashier’s booth in <br />the scale house. <br /> <br />3.3 LOAD CHECKING <br />The purpose of load checking is to exclude materials that may not be accepted at the facility for <br />other reasons. Site personnel are trained in the recognition, proper handling and disposition of <br />prohibited materials. Load checking records for the previous year are maintained for future <br />reference at the LTS main administration office. <br /> <br />3.3.1 Scale House Check <br />The screening of incoming loads for hazardous and prohibited wastes begins at the scale house. <br />Signs indicating what types of waste are prohibited are posted on the scale house. Customers <br />are asked if they have any hazardous or prohibited waste within their load. <br /> <br />3.3.2 Routine Load Checks <br />LTS staff visually inspects commercial and self-haul customers, and randomly checks <br />commercial loads to prevent the unloading of any unacceptable materials. <br /> <br />If unacceptable materials are detected, site staff will notify the customer that the load contains <br />unacceptable materials, and that this material may not be unloaded. The customer is given <br />directions to a facility that can accept the materials in question. <br /> <br />Random Load Checks are performed at least once a day. This procedure is an in-depth search of <br />the contents of randomly selected commercial haul vehicles to prevent the unloading of any <br />unacceptable materials including hazardous waste. This practice encourages each commercial <br />customer to self-monitor their own waste stream and customers. <br />
