Municipal solid waste analysis can follow material from collection through transfer, processing, recovery, and disposal. Relevant evidence may include tonnage reports, scale tickets, collection records, route information, transfer-station data, recycling reports, disposal records, contracts, and facility operating information. EPA describes municipal solid waste landfills as facilities receiving household waste and certain other nonhazardous waste streams, while transfer stations serve as intermediate points where collected waste is consolidated for transport.
A transfer-station review may consider incoming and outgoing tonnage, tipping areas, storage time, traffic flow, loading equipment, container capacity, operating hours, housekeeping, litter control, drainage, and shipment records. Comparing those conditions with facility design and operating data can help determine whether congestion, excessive accumulation, handling practices, or capacity limitations contributed to the disputed condition. EPA identifies siting, design, operation, traffic, and facility oversight as significant considerations for municipal solid waste transfer stations.
A reported diversion percentage depends on which waste streams are counted and how material quantities are documented. An expert can compare generation totals with scale data, recycling receipts, materials-recovery records, rejected loads, residual disposal, reuse, and other claimed diversion activities. EPA's waste-management hierarchy distinguishes source reduction and reuse, recycling and composting, energy recovery, and treatment or disposal as different management strategies.
A materials recovery facility, or MRF, sorts and processes recyclable materials before they are sent to downstream markets or processors. A dispute may involve throughput, material composition, sorting efficiency, contamination rates, equipment capacity, recovered quantities, residual waste, or contracts for recovered materials. EPA includes MRFs among the principal infrastructure used for recycling and municipal solid waste management.
