3 <br />COMPACTOR COLLECTION CENTERS <br />40 YARD HIGH COMPACTION SYSTEM AND 40 YARD OPEN TOP <br />CONTAINERS <br />The 40 yard high compaction system utilizes a 40 cubic yard <br />container loaded with a stationary 2.0 cubic yard compactor <br />unit to accept household waste. The 40 yard compactor systen, <br />will hold the equivalent of six (6) yard containers. This <br />system uses one stationary compactor with two containers; one <br />for use and another as a backup that is rotated as the <br />container is taken to the landfill to be emptied. <br />The 40 yard high compaction container has the same dimensions <br />as the 40 yard open top container, but is enclosed and has <br />compaction capabilities. It does, however, require that an <br />employee be stationed on site to operate the compactor. This <br />system provides better waste control in that the employeee <br />Monitors the type of waste deposited. Since_ the hopper <br />itself is smaller, it too controls the type of waste <br />received. The 40 -yard high compaction container and the 40- <br />yard open top container both use tandem tilt -frame roll -)ff <br />trucks for collection. Thereby, allowing f <br />.nterchangeability and easier servicing. <br />Three 40 yard open top containers are needed for c_-ollec-.�4i on <br />of bulky items. one container each for wood products, white <br />goods, and furniture. This system allows for maximum source <br />separation at the point of disposal for the citizen. <br />
