In all of these cases, roll-offs of source-separated material would be brought by Crown Disposal to Community Recycling’s Sun Valley Organic Recycling facility for pre-processing prior to delivery to Community Recycling’s compost facility in Lamont, CA. As noted elsewhere in this proposal, Community Recycling’s grinding equipment and compost facility can accommodate hard-to-recycle greenwaste such as palm and yucca.

An automation collection vehicle, using an extendable arm, will grasp the cart and tip the contents into the body of the vehicle. Allied Waste will provide a 32-gallon green waste cart for those customers with special needs such as disability or storage limitations. This option will not be an advertised service, but provided on a case by case as needed basis. Drivers will provide special consideration for on-premises service as described below (i.e. seniors, disabled). All material must fit inside the cart with the lid closed. No material will be collected from outside the cart without prior arrangements.
