Recycling Vehicles

Where we started

_ ¬

In 1990 we started with a 1⁄2 ton truck with a cover over the box of the truck and

a lift gate We filled it with cardboard several times a day and empty It at our

storage area where a bailer was located In the afternoon the truck was filled

with cages to pick-up co-mingled containers, office paper and newspaper from

&CURC

Outdoor Equipment

From 1990 to 1995 we used In 1995 we started using

anything we could for outdoor Schaffer poly-carts with

recycling bins rubber wheels We have had

some of these on campus for over 17 years and they are still holding up well

&CURC

Trang 7

Equipment Changes

In 1995 we bought bigger trucks and looked at better ways to pick-

up recycling We replaced the 1⁄2 ton truck with a 16 ft cube van

and had a custom 16 yard-four compartment recycle truck made

that could lift the 95 gal recycle bins =

Equipment

¢ Automation of the bailing process helped to improve the time spent bailing cardboard This is

a Marathon Gemini series horizontal bailer with a conveyor

&CURC

Trang 9

Equipment Changes

We lost our sorting and storage area in 2003 due to a snow storm that

collapsed the building In 2004 we bought a 26 yard automated side loader

to handle the single stream recycling pick-ups In 2009 we bought a 13 yard

rear load truck for cardboard These trucks improved our pick-up times and

could handle the increased quantities from single stream recycling

&CURC

Best Equipment

" Cardboard is one of the biggest

challenges, we have found that a rear

load truck works well for this application

With a hydraulic lift on the back of this

truck it can also be used to empty poly-

carts when the side-loader is down

= A side-loader works very well to empty

95- gal poly-carts We have found that we

can empty the cardboard bins with this

truck also when the rear load is down

=" A 16 to 20 ft cube van or stake-bed to

deliver/pick-up poly-carts for events or

office clean-outs works very well

&CURC

Trang 11

Best Equipment

¢ Shaffer Carts have been the

best investment for our 95 and

65 gallon carts

¢ Somat is the pulper that is

used at our dining halls We

have had no mechanical

problems with these

Trang 12

Rubbermaid Slim Jims work well in copy rooms, mail rooms and

classrooms Rubbermaid 2956 - 28 qt bins work well for under the desk

recycling in offices Public Square recycle bins work well in hallways (we

don't use the tallest bins due to injury risk)
