Disposal of Waste at the Incinerator.
Process
Step 1: Garbage (household waste, business waste, yard clearing) is collected by garbage trucks or individuals and brought to the incinerator.
Step 2: The weight of the garbage is recorded.
Step 3: The garbage trucks or individuals are directed to the "tipping" floor where the garbage is dumped.
Step 4: The garbage is pushed into the incinerator. (If a special request is made for the immediate incineration of materials (sensitive wastes) the request is fulfilled).
Step 5: The ash from the incinerator is automatically loaded onto a conveyor belt.
Step 6: The ash is loaded into trucks and dumped in the back area of the plant and covered with dirt.
