ABSTRACT:
A method for treating heterogeneous waste, particularly household garbage and general industrial refuse, e.g. paper, glass or bulk objects such as furniture. The composition of waste supplied to the treating site depends on its source, i.e. household bin or industrial skip, and waste from different sources is supplied through different channels, i.e. by different salvage vehicles. At the site the waste is sorted and treated to obtain selected products e.g. for re-cycling.
To facilitate obtaining the products and to cope with the range of waste suppied to the site, a number of separate bunkers are provided, each for waste from a particular source. The bunkers are arranged in an arc, although they could be in block formation and are accessible to salvage vehicles. The jib or boom of a crane or another mechanical device can sweep over the bunkers and transfer seleced waste to one of a number of manual sorting or distributing belts, preferably three, via optional hoppers. The waste is manually sorted into streams of different waste types which are subsequently broken, separated and graded to give specific products. Streams of like waste from different sorting belts are combined.
