Unloading of waste on the exploitation front Spreading, grounding down and compactation of waste Disinfection and fumigation of the exploitation front Covering of waste works

The waste enters the depot transported in trucks mainly coming from the Viladecans transfer plant. Once the corresponding control has been carried out, the waste is deposited in piles at the exploitation face. At the same time that the waste is unloaded, large tonnage compacting machines are used and the waste is spread, ground down and compacted along the exploitation front, thus forming successive layers 40-50 cm thick. Once the total layers, with a thickness varying between 2 and 4 metres, have been consolidated, the mass of waste is covered with a layer of earth about 20 cm thick, thus ensuring that the uncovered exploitation surface is the minimum possible necessary for correct operations of the depot. This deposition procedure minimises the emission of foul odours, proliferation and/or attraction of undesirable animals - mainly seagulls - and reduces possible dispersion by the wind of light waste, mainly paper and plastic.
