There are various pieces of equipment that are used for the efficient relocation and eventual disposal of solid wastes. This waste can cover the gamut from domestic garbage cans to the disposal of sharps and other medical waste. Different solid waste requires very different approaches to disposal; this in turn means different equipment and treatment methods. Dumpsters in Portland OR are a common piece of equipment seen near an apartment, a business block or construction site. A dumpster, along with the associated trucks to either empty it or physically moves it is by far the most visible equipment.
There are extremely complex machines used in the waste management industry, there are also extremely simple pieces of equipment such as a domestic garbage can. Many small garbage cans today are made from plastic, these are normal for use around a home or small business. Much larger cans, many made from metal are used for public and commercial waste collection and segregation. These cans are fitted with lids which contain odors, eliminate vermin and for purposes of aesthetics.
Many commercial operations turn to using dumpsters in Portland OR for non-residential waste. Dumpsters are a very common sight, they are seen everywhere. Most dumpsters are constructed to have a two-part removable top and hatches for disposal of the waste; they have holes in the bottom to drain off any liquids as the garbage decomposes. On schedule, a large truck will pick up the waste contained in the dumpster, these trucks have forks which engage with the dumpster, the whole thing is then lifted, and the waste tipped into the truck.
The trucks themselves vary depending on the dumpster. Most dumpsters of limited capacity are found behind restaurants etc and are emptied by a collection vehicle. There are other trucks which are designed to pull a large loaded drop box onto the back of a flatbed, the entire container is then removed to a dump site and a new container is put in place. These trucks can be classified as a front, rear loaders, and side loaders as well as pneumatic collectors.
Pneumatic collectors are similar in function to a huge vacuum cleaner. These pneumatic collectors are used to remove waste that is in liquid form and kept stored in underground tanks. Other more common vehicles are trash compactors which are fitted to most garbage trucks and other equipment which sorts and segregates recyclable materials.
