... the handling of municipal solid waste through a new and innovative European technology known as the piped vacuum collection system. Whereas the traditional infrastructure approach involves household garbage pickup, separation, and landfill costs, this scenario allows household waste to be sorted at source. Separate waste streams are conveyed to storage locations in vacuum chutes running through the below grade service level to a central, underground location for pickup. Recyclables and non-organic waste are picked up from the storage location by the municipality. Organics are conveyed directly to anaerobic digestion tanks situated throughout the site. 1, record 1, English, - vacuum%20waste%20collection%20system
