It garbage easier to store and to transfer to port can be used prior to the compactor to increase reception facilities. Garbage collection points with receptacles should be located in appropriate spaces throughout the ship and the garbage should be stored in a manner, which avoids health, safety and environmental hazards. Waste fractions to be recycled at port reception facilities should be separated prior to the on board processing. In order for a waste management system to be successful, the crew must have an environmental awareness and understand the importance of the compaction ratio, but it also works well in minimizing generation of and separating the combination with an shipboard incinerator. waste. It is not recommend to process food waste in the shredder!
