Recommendations
The lift thickness should be maintained between 10
to 15 feet thick. The landfill crew should attempt to
remove a substantial portion of the previously
placed daily or intermediate cover prior to placing a
new layer of waste material.

Landfill Operations
Recommendations
Under normal conditions, one on-site mechanic should be
sufficient to assist with morning start-up, manage the
servicing of equipment and handle minor equipment
problems. Fleet Services could provide an additional
mechanic on an on-call or as-needed basis to assist with
major equipment repairs or assist the primary mechanic
during periods when more than one critical piece of
equipment is down for repairs. Shifts could continue to be
rotated to allow for a mechanic to be on duty during
Saturday operations. This would be a good time to perform
routine servicing as the daily intake of waste is relatively
low compared to the weekdays.

Commercial Refuse Collection
Recommendations
The ratio of frontline vehicles to back-up vehicles is
appropriate if all vehicles are properly maintained,
but vehicle downtime, and its impact on operations
should be closely monitored going forward.

Commercial Refuse Collection
Recommendations
R. W. Beck recommends the City conduct an initial
commercial front-load route evaluation to determine
the service level for each commercial front-load
customer and reconcile the information with the
information contained in the City’s utility billing
system. If significant discrepancies exist, conduct
periodic route audits and develop a more unified data
management system to help minimize such problems
in the future.
