7 <br />A new baler will create a safer work environment for employees. It will have an in-feed <br />conveyor as opposed to the current process in which employees manually feed material down the <br />mouth of the baler and then have to manually make and tie each bale, threading wire through the <br />bales. Orange County anticipates that this new baler will save considerable money on labor, and <br />may be able to market the rigid plastics for greater revenue due to heavier bale weight or at least <br />make fewer trips to market, saving fuel. <br />Bulleted list showing project milestones and general implementation dates (note: project must be <br />complete in one year). <br />o November 30, 2011 -Complete purchase, acquisition and installation of horizontal baler <br />and associated facility improvements.
