The factors that slow down the desire to sort are time and obligation to handle waste, which risks arousing reluctance among users or difficulties because of the degrading image reflected in the garbage.
Indeed, the occupants of housing must devote their time to sort their waste. Also, a recent survey survey shows that the practice of sorting for a majority of respondents represent extra work even when they could us a dumpster rental near me.
In addition, there are material constraints which play a significant role. Indeed, the small size of kitchens in collective housing is a limiting factor because their small area reduces the presence of storage places and also faces the lack of storage, garage and garden in this type of housing, residents will have, compared to individual housing (suburban or rural), less ease of storage and therefore organizational difficulties in sorting their waste.
So we could bring improvements by enlarging the kitchens, the volume storage of waste would thus be easier or by proposing, for example, in each new apartment a kitchen specially designed for selective sorting of waste. As part of the construction or renovation of buildings, the kitchen can be equipped with a double or triple bin: one for mixed garbage, and the other for recyclables.
Also, door-to-door waste collection on the city-street which many miles requires the installation of 19 tonne hook lift trucks, equipped with a grapple crane, and of a 25 m3 box. The white painted vehicles feature the logo of the city of Tallahassee. The waste collected in wheeled bins are buried at the Center of Technical Landfill in Tallahassee.
Selective collection is carried out door to door and voluntary contribution: 30 points supply composed of three terminals installed since September 2020. The waste is collected in these terminals by the a local waste management company to be then brought to the recyclage area sorting center for glass using yellow bollard for dry recyclable packaging. A second tranche of 30 was planned for 2022.
To date, the number of existing points is 87. However, we see a decrease in the latter as since their establishment some were burned and faced with this destruction, they did not systematically subject to replacement. Regarding recovery, we can estimate, in 2021, the tonnages collected in glass, paper and cardboard, plastic bottles, steel and aluminum105 to 235.9 tons.
With this in mind, the local dumpster rental companies, for better management of collection and waste treatment, commissioned several studies to carry out their actions. This new organization therefore revolves around the three following fundamentals:
- Organic recovery: It consists in transforming into compost, vegetable waste and fermentables. This process can be carried out on a individual scale (with bio composters) or on a larger scale industrial (with composting platforms).
- Material recovery: It consists of recycling all empty packaging intoplastic or cardboard, bottles, glass, metal, etc. or sorting centers (where staff sort recoverable waste) allow
valuation by material class. The waste thus sorted can be reused in another form once processed. - Energy recovery: It consists of burning all the waste that does not cannot undergo organic or material recovery. The construction of a household waste incineration plant, to the standards indicated by the waste management regulations are required for this type of valuation.
