  • For some reason I can't get my video response to work, but there's a vid at my channel called "Re: A short trip...etc - Our transfers" that I intended to link. It's a 16 sec view of one of the transfers (called container sites / "containerpladser") we service.

  • looks like it works now, I see it as a response now...

  • the landfill would have been cheaper prolly 20 bucks

  • the stuff they recycle goes too LA the green waste is fed into a big chipper machine then they use that too cover the trash at the landfills or they sell it too the public for your plants and garden its a big operation out by me

  • Yeah, I saw it yesterday, don't know what happened...

  • (Contd.) They then drive to the landfill about 40 minutes south of here where the trailer is lifted onto a platform that tips to empty the trailer.

  • Yeah they have the trash dropped in one area, ont he other side of that room they put the greens (yard waste), and in a different room they drop all the recycling, and they sort it out right there on conveyors. Not sure what they do with the sorted recycling, as well as greens, but I know that they push the trash into an opening where larger trucks are waiting underneath.

  • Over here trucks are not allowed at municipal transfers. Most places allow vans and pick-ups eventually with trailer at max 3.5 tonne total weight. They usually have no restrictions on how many times you can come, though...

    Everything must be sorted into containers of different fractions, and those will be hauled to suitable dumps, incinerators or recycling sites.
