How should communities/haulers load a roll-off box for the MRF?
There are no specific requirements for loading a roll-off box other than keeping out contaminants, including broken glass. However, the following is recommended: 1. Paper and Cardboard: To reduce hauling costs, paper should be as dense as possible through stacking, hand loading or compression, but please avoid over-compacting or over-stuffing the box. Many towns have found that hand loading through the open barn door of the box works better than dropping paper through the sliding doors. Bailing or wire banding is not acceptable. Wet paper is also unacceptable. 2. Containers (glass, metal, waxed, aseptic, plastic): Materials should not be compressed because this will crush the glass, potentially causing the load to be rejected.
