Option 2: Container with compaction on road
In this option, the waste is compacted before
loading into containers. The objective is to reduce
the size of the transportation fleet, which in turn
means reduction of the number of trips and overall
investment. The option works with using sticks to
the present way of waste delivery to the landfill
using the road. The preload compaction system
can compress the waste in range of 400-500 kg
per cubic meter. If compared to the 300 kg/m
3
average current waste density increase the
capacity of containers to about 30-40%.
Option 2a: 50 m³ containers on semi-trailers
The containers of 50 m³ volume are put on
semi-trailers, the loading is via the compaction unit
(Chapter 5), the unloading via push-out blade.
Compaction of waste is performed by installation
of compactors at the existing transfer stations.
Option 2b: Two 30 m³ flexible containers
This option is increasing the transported
amount of waste by using two 30 m³ containers:one each on the chassis and the trailer. Loading
and un-loading will be done with the help of a
hook-lift. The hook lift will also be used to lift the
container from the trailer and to empty it too.
