Another piece of hardware fit for destroying a Ford 250 truck is having significant effects that could drag out the life expectancy of the current Onslow County landfill. 

Onslow County Solid Waste, which is home to the Onslow County landfill at 415 Meadowview Road in Jacksonville, is open Monday-Saturday from 6:30 a.M. - 5 p.M. It is on the most elevated point in Onslow County at 200 feet. 

The new piece of gear is the Titan 950 shredder. The Onslow County Board of Commissioners endorsed the buy and it was authoritatively brought to the landfill in July. 

The shredder cost $816,512 and Onslow County Solid Waste Director Randy Vanover said it will pay for itself inside three years because of the past cost of arranging the 11,000 or more tires that comes to Solid Waste every month. 

"It's made in Germany," said Landfill Supervisor Michael Russell. "At the point when we were searching for shredders, we think we essentially went through six or seven distinct shredders. This was the best shredder we saw as both for financial and for the capacity to what it does." 

The Titan 950 is utilized to shred everything from sleeping cushions, beds, love seats, seats, family mass things, tires and vegetative garbage. 

The Titan 950 can shred an extra large bedding down to squeeze into a five-gallon container. 

The destroying of these materials will assist with growing the life expectancy of the landfill, as waste will not occupy close as much room. For instance, an extra large bedding can be destroyed to squeeze into a solitary five-gallon container. 

"Stuff that would fundamentally go into the landfill and occupy room, presently we can shred it," said Russell. "We needed to give the residents of Onslow County the best value for their money." 

As indicated by an official statement, the destroyed tires likewise go about as a waste boundary to assist with keeping layers discrete, control disintegration, limit scent and forestall the spread of litter. Furthermore, it can shred substantial which is then transformed into rock to return into the landfill and use on streets.

As indicated by Russell, when the waste separates, it produces methane gas. That gas delivers sufficient power to control 1,200 homes. Also, the shredder creates less contamination and carbon monoxide than a pickup truck. 

"I need to credit the chiefs for permitting us to buy this piece of hardware," said Vanover. 

Onslow is the main area in North Carolina, just as on the East Coast, to have a shredder on the tipping deck, Vanover said. Indeed, as indicated by Vanover, different districts along the coast are keen on after a similar way. 

"We're truly energized and anticipate offering our experience to the shredder with them to assist them with trip additionally," said Vanover. 

The current landfill is supposed to go on until 2041. 

"If we continue doing what we're doing here with the shredder," said Vanover, "in the event that we could extend that, that is cash in the bank and more opportunity for the residents of Onslow County."
