Adequate space for transfer trucks and
residential vehicles to operate safely. 16. The hopper is fitted with heavy metal mesh panels and extends to a height taller than the collection trucks used by the city. The hopper is also fitted with system of pipes and nozzles that spray water while unloading is
occurring. This helps direct waste down into the hopper preventing dust and windblown litter. 17. City of Reidsville trucks are directed to the hopper upon entering the facility. The trucks are backed up to the hopper where the truck is unloaded slowly. A facility operator is in a small office building directly next to the hopper. The operator inspects the waste as it is being dumped into the hopper.

The pavement is sloped to direct leachate and water from the hopper to a trench drain located in next to the compactor. The leachate moves from the trench drain to a holding pit and then piped to the sanitary sewer. 20. Computer monitor and televisions are collected and stacked at the convenience center area. Full loads od C&D waste and televisions/monitors are transported to Rockingham Landfill. Television logs were reviewed from August 2021 through August 3, 2022.
