DISPOSAL
OBJECTIVE:
2.3 Motorized
When the distance to the final disposal is
great or where the volume of waste to be
transported is high, the use of a motorized
vehicle may be the only appropriate option.
For large volumes of waste it may sometimes be
appropriate to have a two-stage transportation system
requiring a transfer station.
3. OFF-SITE DISPOSAL OPTIONS

When solid waste is transported off-site, it is
usually taken to a landfill site where the waste is placed
in a large excavation (pit or trench) in the ground,
which is back-filled with excavated soil each day, is
tipped.
