Salvaging Activities <br />Most useful materials are removed at the transfer stations prior to delivery to the Landfill. <br />Inert materials, such as construction and demolition debris, are diverted to beneficial use. Other <br />materials salvaged include tires, display screens, appliances and white goods. <br /> <br />6.4.3. Volume Reduction <br />Volume reduction at the site is accomplished by compaction of the waste at the active <br />face.
