The locations of the collection centers are shown in Figure 2-1. Each collection center is fenced and has an attendant present during operating hours. The collection centers are open 7 days a week. Operation hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday and from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. 2.2 Disposal System Solid waste processing and disposal in Indian River County is conducted at the Indian River County Landfill. Recyclable materials, land -clearing debris, yard waste, and tires are processed at the landfill site. Saleable materials are shipped offsite to market while non - saleable materials are processed for cover material or disposed of in the landfill. Garbage, asbestos, sludge including grit and grease, and C&D debris go directly to the landfill for disposal. Figure 2-2 shows the routing of waste at the landfill. There are two active disposal areas at the County's landfill, a lined Class I disposal area and a C&D disposal area. Garbage, sludge, and asbestos go directly to the County's Class I disposal area. White goods (e.g., stoves, dishwashers, refrigerators, washers, dryers) and scrap metal are segregated from the garbage and recycled when possible. White goods and scrap metal removed from the waste stream and recycled provide a significant reduction not only in weight but more importantly in volume. Because this type of waste is voluminous and does not compact under normal compaction operations, it takes up a relatively large amount of landfill space. Prior to January 1994, C&D debris was placed in the Class 1 disposal area. Starting in January 1994, contaminated C&D debris is placed in the lined disposal area and the remainder of the C&D debris is placed in the CdtD disposal area. Contaminated C&D debris consists of loads of C&D debris containing materials that do not meet the definition of C&D debris. C&D debris are defined in Florida Administrative Code (FAC) 62-701.200(19) as: Materials generally considered to be not water soluble and non -hazardous in nature, including, but not limited to steel, glass, brick, concrete, asphalt roofing material, pipe, gypsum wallboard, and lumber, from the construction or destruction of a structure as part of a construction or demolition project or from the renovation of a structure.
