Drop-off depots vary widely in terms of their level of sophistication. At the lowest end of the spectrum are depots that consist of a prepared pad where materials are dumped in a single, large pile. At the opposite end of the spectrum are facilities with paved areas that contain designated containers or bunkers for different materials (e.g., grass and leaves, shrubs and branches, large branches, and logs and stumps), and which have specific traffic flow patterns. The latter style of depot tends to be used at sites with higher traffic volumes. 1, record 1, English, - drop%2Doff%20depot

Les dépôts de récupération varient considérablement sur le plan de leur degré de complexité. Au bas de l'échelle se trouvent les dépôts composés d’une base préparée sur laquelle les matières sont déversées sur un seul tas de grande taille. Au haut de l'échelle se trouvent les installations composées de zones pavées où sont placés des conteneurs ou des enceintes pouvant recevoir différentes matières désignées(p. ex., herbe et feuilles, arbustes et branches, grandes branches, billots et souches) et munies d’un système de circulation des véhicules. Les dépôts de ce type ont tendance à être utilisés dans des sites où les volumes de circulation sont plus élevés. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9p%C3%B4t%20de%20r%C3%A9cup%C3%A9ration
