Description This machine would be used primarily in the compost and wood chip facility at the landfill to assist in safely grinding incoming materials. Justification Currently an endloader with a grapple bucket is used to load the grinder. This limits staff's ability to see what is being dumped on the grinder belt and occasionally includes items not suitable or safe to run through the grinder, such as metal fence posts or large rocks. An excavator with a grapple hook would enable staff to see what they're picking up and be more selective and safe in loading the grinder. Total Pr oject Cost: $280,000 Status Active

Budget Impact/Other Anticipated savings in down time and equipment costs is approximately $50,000 per year. The process change will slow down material throughput and will therefore require more stafftime. Additional staff time is expected to cost approximately $20,000 per year.
