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.
