The Disaster Waste Problem:
- All rules for acceptable Landfill waste are ignored, and everything goes in. No problem waste or recyclables are intercepted.
- Normal safety processes for waste handling and sorting are forgotten.
- Increased expenses, lost air space and limited waste revenue.
- Distances to landfills & transportation frequency become a logistics nightmare.
- Disaster area stockpiling & double handling become commonplace, creating leachate & contamination issues.
- Dangerous good exposure, e.g. Chemicals & Asbestos, becomes commonplace.
Disasters Need Localised Waste Transfer Stations that:
- Can be deployed within days.
- Are Located in the disaster area,
- That is safe for the public & staff
- Are simple to operate with little training or licensing,
- Enable the interception of problem waste.
- Enable the interception of Reuse and Recyclable items.
- Keep small vehicle waste loads local (Not to remote landfills)
- loads to landfill in the largest possible trucks.
- Can adapt to changing waste profiles from disaster to rebuild.

Step 3: Bulk Transfer Bins
Source from existing vendors and waste operators:
- Large-volume Waste Transfer Bins, typically 30-60m3 bins, are best.
- This significantly reduced the number of transfer vehicles needed on the road, reducing cost, emissions and accident and injury risks.
- LBin system allows for Bulk bins to be dedicated to recyclable materials. These can be sourced from recyclers.
Step 4: Loader & Staff
- Wheel Loaders & Other commonly found equipment can be used to operate the LBin System.
- Staffing will vary based on the volumes.
- Licensed Machiner operator does not require any experience in waste management.
- One site supervisor who understands waste materials and processes is needed to oversee the operations and guide other staff and volunteers.
- Volunteers can be used with little training to support customers and improve reuse and diversion.
