Front end loaders on the tipping floor, push refuse
down a chute that leads to the compactors. The waste
is densified in the compactor. Then burnable waste is
then pushed into 40' intermodal containers. Nonburnable
waste such as dirt, rocks, stumps and rubble is loaded
into trucks and then transported to either Montgomery
County's landfill or a rubble recycling facility.
The intermodal containers are then driven to the railyard
for shipment.
