To do <br />this we use an Orange County-owned vertical baler and a leased horizontal baler. Neither of <br />these machines is ideal for the materials we are handling. Considerable manual labor is required <br />when baling, and the resultant bales, particularly the rigid plastics bales, are light and this limits <br />the county's ability to market this material. <br />To improve operational efficiency and safety, and to increase the options for marketing rigid <br />plastics, Orange County proposes to purchase a horizontal baler and in-feed conveyor. This <br />machine will be installed in the location currently occupied by the leased horizontal baler and the <br />county-owned vertical baler. The horizontal baler will be returned to its owner, saving Orange <br />County $3,000 each year, and the vertical baler will be modified and installed in our electronics <br />recycling facility for baling computer plastics. <br />3 <br />
