Izinto ezisetshenziswe kabusha ezithathwa eceleni kweHarrisburg kanye namanye amadolobha amaningi ziphelela ePennWaste eYork County, indawo entsha kakhulu ecubungula amathani ayi-14,000 ezinto ezingasetshenziswa kabusha ngenyanga. Umqondisi wokusetshenziswa kabusha uTim Horkay uthe le nqubo izenzakalelayo kakhulu, ngokunemba okungamaphesenti angama-97 ekuhlukaniseni izinhlobo ezahlukene zezinto ezisetshenziswa kabusha.
Iningi lezikhwama zephepha, zepulasitiki, ze-aluminium kanye nezobisi zingaphinde zisetshenziswe izakhamuzi ngaphandle kwenkinga enkulu. Izitsha kufanele zihlanzwe, kodwa zingahlanzwa. Inani elincane lokudla okulahliwe liyamukeleka, kodwa amabhokisi e-pizza anamafutha noma inani elikhulu lokudla okulahliwe okunamathele ezintweni akuvunyelwe.
Nakuba le nqubo manje isisebenza ngokuzenzakalela, isikhungo sePennWaste sisenabantu abangu-30 ngeshifti ngayinye abahlela izinto ozishiya emathini kadoti. Lokhu kusho ukuthi umuntu wangempela kumele athinte izinto. Unalokho engqondweni, nanka amanye amathiphu ngalokho okungafanele ukukulahle emgqonyeni kadoti.
Lezi zinalithi ezimfushane kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi zivela kubantu abanesifo sikashukela. Kodwa abasebenzi bePennWaste nabo babhekana nezinalithi ezinde.
Imfucuza yezokwelapha ayifakiwe ohlelweni lokuvuselela ngenxa yokuba khona kwezifo ezithathelwanayo ezidluliselwa ngegazi. Kodwa-ke, izikhulu zithe amakhilogremu angu-600 ezinaliti agcine ePennWaste ngonyaka odlule, futhi inani libonakala likhuphuka kancane kancane. Lapho kutholakala izinaliti emabhandeni okuhambisa, njengasemathinini epulasitiki, abasebenzi kufanele bamise umugqa ukuze bazikhiphe. Lokhu kuphumela ekulahlekelweni amahora angu-50 esikhathi somshini ngonyaka. Abanye abasebenzi balimala ngezinaliti ezikhululekile ngisho nalapho begqoke amagilavu angangeni.
Izinkuni kanye ne-styrofoam akuzona ezinye zezinto ezivame ukuphinda zisetshenziswe eceleni komgwaqo. Izinto ezingahambisani nezinto ezingasetshenziswa kabusha kumele zisuswe ngabasebenzi bese ekugcineni zilahlwe.
Nakuba izitsha zepulasitiki zilungele ukuphinda zisetshenziswe, izitsha ezazikade ziqukethe uwoyela noma ezinye izinto eziwuketshezi ezivuthayo azizange zithandeke ezindaweni zokuphinda zisetshenziswe. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uwoyela nezinto eziwuketshezi ezivuthayo zibeka izinselele ezithile ekuphindeni zisetshenziswe, okuhlanganisa ukudala amaphuzu okukhanya nokushintsha ikhemikhali yepulasitiki. Izitsha ezinjalo kufanele zilahlwe kudoti noma ziphinde zisetshenziswe ekhaya ukuvimbela ukuchayeka ku-oyela osele.
Kunezindawo lapho ungaphinda usebenzise khona izingubo ezifana neGoodwill noma i-Salvation Army, kodwa amathini kadoti aseceleni komgwaqo awayona inketho engcono kakhulu. Izingubo zingavimba imishini ezindaweni zokuphinda usebenzise, ngakho-ke abasebenzi kudingeka baqaphele lapho bezama ukukhipha izingubo ezingalungile.
Lawa mabhokisi awakwazi ukuphinda asetshenziswe ePennWaste. Kodwa esikhundleni sokuwaphonsa emgqonyeni, ungase ucabangele ukuwanikela esikoleni, emtatsheni wezincwadi, noma esitolo sezinto ezisetshenzisiwe lapho kungadingeka khona amabhokisi engeziwe ukuze kufakwe amanye aphukile noma alahlekile.
Le doily ensomi iyenyanyeka kakhulu. Kodwa abanye abasebenzi bePennWaste kwadingeka bayisuse emgqeni wokukhiqiza ngoba yayingenazo izintambo ezingasetshenziswa kabusha embozweni wejeli yamagilebhisi. I-PennWaste ayiwamukeli amathawula ephepha asetshenzisiwe noma amathawula ephepha.
Amathoyizi afana naleli hhashi neminye imikhiqizo yezingane eyenziwe ngepulasitiki eqinile yezimboni awakwazi ukuphinda asetshenziswe. Ihhashi lasuswa emgqeni wokuhlanganisa ePennwaist ngesonto eledlule.
Izingilazi zokuphuza zenziwe ngengilazi ye-lead, engenakuphinde isetshenziswe eceleni komgwaqo. Amabhodlela engilazi yewayini ne-soda angaphinde asetshenziswe (ngaphandle kwaseHarrisburg, eDauphin County, nakwamanye amadolobha ayeke ukuqoqa ingilazi). I-PennWaste isayamukela ingilazi kumakhasimende ngoba umshini ungahlukanisa ngisho nezingcezu ezincane zengilazi kwezinye izinto.
Izikhwama zokuthenga zepulasitiki kanye nezikhwama zikadoti azamukelekile emathini kadoti aseceleni komgwaqo njengoba zizogoqwa ezimotweni zesikhungo sokuvuselela kabusha. I-sorter idinga ukuhlanzwa ngesandla kabili ngosuku ngoba izikhwama, izingubo nezinye izinto ziyabhajwa. Lokhu kuphazamisa ukusebenza kwe-sorter, njengoba yenzelwe ukuvumela izinto ezincane nezisindayo ukuthi ziwele ebhomu. Ukuze kuhlanzwe imoto, ilungu labasebenzi lanamathisela intambo emgqeni obomvu phezulu kwesithombe futhi lasika izikhwama nezinto ezicasulayo ngesandla. Iningi lezitolo zokudla nezitolo ezinkulu zingaphinda zisebenzise izikhwama zokuthenga zepulasitiki.
Amanabukeni angatholakala ePennWaste, yize engaphinde asetshenziswe (ahlanzekile noma angcolile). Izikhulu zaseHarrisburg zithi abanye abantu baphonsa amanabukeni emigqonyeni yokulahla kabusha evulekile esikhundleni sokuwalahla ngendlela efanele njengomdlalo.
I-PennWaste ayikwazi ukuphinda isebenzise lezi zintambo. Lapho zifika esitshalweni sokucubungula, abasebenzi bazama ukuzikhipha emgqeni wokuhlanganisa. Kunalokho, abantu abafuna ukulahla izintambo zabo ezindala, izintambo, izintambo, namabhethri angasetshenziswa kabusha bangazishiya eminyango yangaphambili yezitolo ze-Best Buy.
Ibhodlela eligcwele i-talc lifike esikhungweni sokuvuselela kabusha sePennWaste ngesonto eledlule kodwa kwadingeka lisuswe emgqeni wokukhiqiza. Okuqukethwe yipulasitiki kulesi sitsha kungabuye kusetshenziswe kabusha, kodwa isitsha kumele singabi nalutho. Ibhande lokuhambisa impahla lalihambisa izinto ngokushesha kakhulu ukuba abasebenzi bakwazi ukukhulula izinto njengoba bedlula.
Nakhu okwenzekayo lapho umuntu ephonsa ithini likakhilimu wokushefa emgqonyeni kadoti bese lisenokhilimu wokushefa: inqubo yokupakisha igcina ikhipha okusele, idale ukungcola. Qiniseka ukuthi uthulula zonke izitsha ngaphambi kokusebenzisa kabusha.
Ama-hangers epulasitiki angenziwa ngezinhlobo ezahlukene zepulasitiki, ngakho-ke awakwazi ukuphinda asetshenziswe. Ungazami ukuphinda usebenzise ama-hangers epulasitiki noma izinto ezinkulu ezenziwe ngamapulasitiki aqinile ezimboni. Abasebenzi bePennWaste kwadingeka balahle izinto ezinkulu ezifana nama-swing ukuze "baphinde basebenzise". Phela, bathatha lezi zinto ezinkulu baziyise endaweni yokulahla udoti ekuqaleni kwenqubo.
Izitsha zepulasitiki kufanele zihlanzwe ukudla kanye nemfucumfucu ngaphambi kokuzilahla emgqonyeni kadoti. Lesi sitsha sepulasitiki esikhulu sezimboni ngokusobala asinjalo. Imfucumfucu yokudla ingalimaza nezinye izinto ezingasetshenziswa kabusha njengamabhokisi e-pizza. Ochwepheshe batusa ukukhuhla ibhotela noma ushizi owengeziwe ebhokisini le-pizza ngaphambi kokufaka ikhadibhodi emgqonyeni kadoti.
Izivalo zamabhodlela epulasitiki zingaphinde zisetshenziswe, kodwa kungcono ukungakwenzi lokho zisanamathele ebhodleleni. Uma isivalo sishiywe endaweni yaso, ipulasitiki ayinciphi njalo ngesikhathi sokupakisha, njengoba leli bhodlela eligcwele umoya i-7-Up libonisa. Ngokusho kukaTim Horkey wePennWaste, amabhodlela amanzi ayizinto ezinzima kakhulu ukuzicindezela (ngezivalo).
Isimbozo sebhamuza lomoya asikwazi ukuphinda sisetshenziswe futhi empeleni sinamathela emotweni njengezikhwama zokuthenga zepulasitiki, ngakho ungasilahli emgqonyeni kadoti. Enye into engenakuphinde isetshenziswe: i-aluminium foil. Amathini e-aluminium, yebo. i-aluminium foil, cha.
Ekupheleni kosuku, ngemva kokusebenzisa ama-baler, yile ndlela izinto ezingasetshenziswa kabusha eziphuma ngayo ePennWaste. Umqondisi wokusebenzisa kabusha uTim Horkey uthe izikhwama zithengisiwe kumakhasimende emhlabeni jikelele. Izinto zokwakha zilethwa cishe ngesonto elilodwa kumakhasimende asekhaya kanye nezinsuku ezingaba ngu-45 kumakhasimende aphesheya kwezilwandle e-Asia.
I-PennWaste yavula isitshalo esisha sokuvuselela esingamamitha-skwele angu-96,000 eminyakeni emibili edlule ngoFebhuwari, ngemishini yesimanje ezenzakalelayo ingxenye enkulu yenqubo ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle nokunciphisa ukungcola. Kufakwe i-baler entsha ekuqaleni kwale nyanga. Isikhungo esisha esihlonyiswe nge-optical sorter singaba ngaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kwe-tonnage yezinto eziphinde zisetshenziswe ezicutshungulwa ngenyanga.
Iphepha le-Notebook kanye nekhompyutha liphinde lisetshenziswe ezicutshini zobuso, ephepheni langasese kanye nephepha elisha le-notebook. Amathini ensimbi kanye ne-tin asetshenziswa kabusha ukwenza i-rebar, izingxenye zebhayisikili kanye nezinto zikagesi, kuyilapho amathini e-aluminium aphinde asetshenziswa kabusha esetshenziswa ukudala amathini amasha e-aluminium. Iphepha elixubile kanye neposi eliyimfucumfucu lingaphinde lisetshenziswe libe ama-shingles kanye nama-paper tawel rolls.
Ukusetshenziswa kanye/noma ukubhaliswa kunoma iyiphi ingxenye yalesi siza kusho ukwamukelwa kweSivumelwano sethu Somsebenzisi (esibuyekezwe ngo-04/04/2023), Inqubomgomo Yobumfihlo kanye Nesitatimende Samakhukhi, kanye namalungelo akho obumfihlo kanye nezinketho (esibuyekezwe ngo-01/07/2023).
