B.3           Refuse Transfer and Disposal Methods
 Method                                 Examples     Description
 Manual                                              Manual transfer is simply the process of physically carrying
 transfer /                                          waste bags, food waste receptacles or recycling boxes and
 disposal                                            crates without assistance.
                                                     From a safety perspective, this is acceptable for small
                                                     quantities and initial disposal into refuse chutes, refuse
                                                     compartments or, in the case of ground level activities,
                                                     directly into the refuse storage room.
                                                     •   Waste material should be bagged prior to any transfer
                                                         from apartments, suites, offices, back-of-house areas
                                                         etc. to waste storage compartments or rooms.
                                                     •   Food waste should be placed in receptacles such as a
                                                         caddy style bin or bucket which will not allow leakage
                                                         during transfer.
                                                     •   Recycling material should be placed in boxes or crates
                                                         prior to transfer.
                                                      • Cardboard and paper items can be placed within
                                                         another cardboard box for transfer.

 Assisted                                            Assisted manual transfer includes the use of any wheeled
 manual                                              container, wheelie bin or trolley with a capacity to carry
 transfer                                            refuse items with a combined weight of 20kg and above.
                                                     The equipment bares the weight of the material, but it still
                                                     requires physical force and or balance to move the bin or
                                                     trolley.
                                                     From a safety perspective, this type of equipment should
                                                     be a minimum requirement for transfer of material greater
                                                     than 20kg and when transferring between individual levels
                                                     to the refuse storage room or loading areas. Use of
                                                     enclosed or caged equipment will also eliminate ‘litter or
                                                     leakage trails’ which can occur when using open or
                                                     unsealed equipment.

 Assisted                                            Assisted transfer includes the use of any container with
 transfer                                            capacity to carry 20kg or more, pushed or towed by
                                                     mechanical or electrical self-propelling equipment.
