The high costs associated with garbage
exportation along with dramatic increases in disposal tipping fees in recent
years has compelled the city to explore potential alternative garbage
management options. Increased recycling provides an attractive option
since it eliminates some disposal requirements with the additional benefits of
reducing pollution, conserving energy, creating jobs and building more
competitive manufacturing industries. In addition, through the utilization
of a well-designed materials recovery facility and collection system, recycling
can be a very economical garbage management opportunity.
A materials recovery facility (MRF) is a
place where solid garbages are delivered to be separated, processed and stored
for later use as raw materials for remanufacturing and reprocessing. The
garbage sorting machines within the MRF are designed to be as automated as
possible to increase speed of operation, reduce costs and improve
recovery. STAVN can propose semi-automatic or automatic garbage
segregation unit that effectively gives a solution to this problem. The
MRF would be a more cost-effective alternative compared to the currently
utilized garbage management system.
