Waste Characterization – Composition Study, Sanitation District, Los Angeles, California
SCS conducted waste composition studies for a materials recovery facility in Downey.
SCS Engineers conducted a variety of waste composition studies, i.e., “sorts,” for the Los Angeles Sanitation District’s materials recovery facility in Downey.
These sorts were conducted to serve a variety of purposes:
quarterly sorts to determine the quantities and percentages of recyclable material found in residential recycling loads to determine diversion percentages for facility client jurisdictions
sorts to determine the recycling potential of select residential routes
sorts to determine the recycling potential of select commercial accounts
sorts to determine the quantity and percentages of residual wastes from the facility’s sorting line
