Excerpt

Collection vehicle

Vehicle designed to collect waste.

Collection

Obtaining materials from the curbside or drop-off centers and bringing that material to an unloading point.

Curbside collection

Collecting materials from each household, at the front curb or back alley.

Drop-off center

A centrally located facility, with large containers for each type of material, from which material is collected.

Generation

The act of creating a waste.

Material recovery facility

Special type of transfer station, where recyclables are processed before transport.

Participation rate

The fraction of households that regularly present materials properly.

Presentation

Placing waste materials in the proper location for collection by the municipal waste collection program.

Processing

Changing the properties of a waste material, e.g., compacting cans.

Residual waste

Materials remaining as waste after reuse, recycling, or processing.

Separation

Placing different waste materials in different containers.

Setout rate

The fraction of households that present materials on the collection day.

Source activities

Actions that take place at the waste generation point that result in the proper presentation of the waste to the waste collection system.

Storage

Keeping waste materials at the generation point until they can be collected.

Transfer station

Facility at which transfer is performed.

Transfer

Moving wastes from a collection vehicle to a transport vehicle.

Transport vehicle

Vehicle designed to move waste long distances.

Transport

Moving wastes long distances for treatment, disposal, or recycling.
