The material is then stored in bunkers. From the sorting line bunkers, the material is loaded onto very large in-floor conveyor systems by means of manned Skid-Steer loaders (or large bunker doors that are opened). These conveyors are monitored by trained personnel that assure all material is properly separated and graded correctly. The large in-floor conveyor systems feed several fully-automated baling units that compact and band material together into roughly one ton (2,000 lbs.) cubes that are referred to as "bales".

Trained forklift operators remove the bales from the end of the baler extrusion chamber. These operators inspect bales for quality, then weigh the bales and tag them with the appropriate information. The operators record all the material on inventory sheets and store the material in properly designated rows in our warehouse.
