Top loading into semi-trailers is the method
which is currently in practice and the introduction
of any alternative will need significant amounts of
capital investment. With a longer distance to the
new landfill than to the Kahrizak landfill, the option
of minimization of volume of waste has to be evaluated. Baling will not be considered further,
because of unstable bales due to large amounts
of high density and moist organic waste, high
capital and operational costs for balers in transfer
stations and the need of a totally new technical
and operational system to unload bales.
