"Load Checking "

Duration

12 Minutes

Summary

Load checking is a vital part of maintaining a clean and safe landfill. Load checks keep hazardous materials out of the landfill, and in doing so, help keep the environment, landfill workers, and customers safe.

While your landfill may have someone who is specifically trained and assigned to conduct load checks, every worker has some responsibility. Everyone who works at a landfill should know how to identify and respond to hazardous material in the waste stream.
