Sec. 246.202-4  Recommended procedures: Methods of separation and storage.

    The method selected will depend upon such variables as the physical 
layout of the individual generating facility, the rate at which the 
corrugated accumulates, the storage capacity of the facility, and the 
projected cost-effectiveness of using the various methods. All of the 
following suggested modes of separation and storage presuppose that the 
corrugated boxes will be accumulated at a central location in the 
facility after their contents are removed and that the boxes are 
flattened.
    (a) Balers of various sizes: Corrugated boxes are placed in balers 
and compacted into bales. These bales may be stored inside or outside of 
the facility. The bales should be protected from fire, inclement 
weather, theft, and vandalism.
    (b) Stationary compactors or bulk containers: Corrugated boxes are 
placed in a stationary compactor or bulk containers outside of the 
facility. The containers should be protected from fire, inclement 
weather, theft and vandalism.
