www.KeepingVenturaCountyClean.com Enhancing recycling on-site In addition to building a modern MRF, we intend to add an Environmental Collection Center so things such as household hazardous waste (HHW) and consumer electronics (e-waste) can be kept out of the landfill. Licensed, certified handlers will transport HHW and e-waste to appropriate, permitted facilities. Regular recyclables will be transported to specialized off-site processors.

Holding daily tonnage limits steady Today, SVLRC is permitted to accept a total of 9,250 tons per day (TPD): 3,000 TPD of trash for landfill disposal and 6,250 TPD of recyclables. We are not proposing to change the total of 9,250 TPD. A careful review of market conditions and growth projections for Ventura County have led us to conclude that our plans should include a redistribution of the materials that we receive. n o y Therefore, we are proposing ton receive up to 6,000 TPD of trash for disposal, n o a while maintaining the totaly incoming volume at 9,250 TPD.
