Decision details
Solid waste transfer material handling will be completed indoors, while inert recyclable material (e.g. concrete, metal, etc.) will be managed and stored outdoors.
The facility building has a total floor area of approximately 802 square metres. Solid waste is received from roll-off trucks, frontend trucks, or municipal collection vehicles, as well as, residential vehicles. The solid waste and recovered recycled materials are transferred into tractor trailers for long-haul to approved landfill sites for the waste and roll-off trucks for hauling recyclable materials to market.
The receipt and transfer of an annual average of 600 tonnes per day of solid non-hazardous waste including municipal solid waste (MSW) from residential, construction and demolition (C&D) waste, industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) generators, and contaminated soil. Recyclable materials including metal, cardboard, brick, drywall, etc. are also received.
The receipt and/or shipment off-site is limited to a maximum of 219,000 tonnes annually of waste. In order to account for seasonal and/or market fluctuations in waste/recyclable generation, the operator may receive or ship off-site up to 600 tonnes per day, provided that the proposed annual limit of 219,000 tonnes per year is not exceeded.
The maximum storage quantity is limited to 900 tonnes at any one time, which includes a maximum storage capacity of 600 tonnes of solid waste within the facility building, and a maximum storage capacity of 300 tonnes of recyclables stored at designated areas on the property outside the facility building.
Shipping and receiving operations are 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
