40 J C CDM will review the following solid waste operations including: ■ C & D Landfilling The Construction and Demolition Debris (C & D) landfill accepts only C & D debris as defined and permitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. One heavy equipment operator with a dozer and one spotter operate this landfill. The operational requirements of the C & D landfill have recently increased due to increased C & D regulation by the state. This operation is similar to the Class I operation which has already been privatized. C & D recycling is an integral part of this operation since much of the recycling normally takes place at the C & D landfill working face. Contract operation alternatives include a separate contract operator or entering into negotiations with the present Class 1 landfill operator. C & D Recycling Some C & D recycling is already being accomplished in a designated area adjacent to the C & D landfill. Clean brick, masonry block and concrete rubble are stockpiled separately for use at the landfill. Pallets. The long term goal of the C & D recycling operation is to recycle in excess of 50% of the incoming material. Materials that can be recycled include concrete, bricks, cardboard, wood, shingles, metal and wallboard. The C & D recycling operation would be a part of the C & D disposal operation. Contract operation alternatives include a separate C & D contract operation, or entering negotiations with the present Class I disposal contractor if they are interested. ■ Drop-off Center Operation & Transfer to the Landfill Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) operates five solid waste collection Drop off centers throughout the County. The centers accept household waste and yard trash from single family residences and the following separated recyclable materials: Also accepted on a limited basis is household hazardous and bio -hazardous wastes.
