Ibikoresho bitunganyirizwa hamwe byatoraguwe ku ruhande rwa Harrisburg no mu yindi mijyi myinshi birangirira ahitwa PennWaste mu Ntara ya York, ikigo gisa naho ari gishya gitunganya toni 14,000 z’ibishobora gukoreshwa buri kwezi. Umuyobozi wa Recycling, Tim Horkay yavuze ko iki gikorwa ahanini cyakozwe mu buryo butandukanye, ku buryo 97% ari ukuri mu gutandukanya ubwoko butandukanye bw’ibikoresho bitunganyirizwa.
Impapuro nyinshi, plastike, aluminiyumu namata yimifuka irashobora gutunganywa nabenegihugu nta kibazo kinini. Ibikoresho bigomba kwozwa, ariko ntibisukure. Umubare muto wimyanda y'ibiribwa iremewe, ariko agasanduku ka pizza karimo amavuta cyangwa imyanda myinshi yibiribwa ifatanye nibintu ntibyemewe.
Mugihe ubu buryo bwakozwe cyane cyane, ikigo cya PennWaste kiracyafite abantu 30 kuri buri mwanya utondekanya ibintu usize mumabati. Ibi bivuze ko umuntu nyawe agomba gukora ku bintu. Ukizirikana, dore inama zimwe zibyo utagomba guta mumyanda.
Izi nshinge ngufi birashoboka cyane kubarwayi ba diyabete. Ariko abakozi ba PennWaste nabo bakoze inshinge ndende.
Imyanda yo kwa muganga ntabwo ishyirwa muri gahunda yo gutunganya ibicuruzwa bitewe n’uko bishoboka ko hari ibintu byanduza byanduza amaraso. Abayobozi bavuze ariko ko ibiro 600 by'urushinge byarangiye muri PennWaste umwaka ushize, kandi umubare ugaragara ko ugenda wiyongera. Iyo inshinge zibonetse kumukandara wa convoyeur, nko mubibindi bya pulasitike, abakozi bagomba guhagarika umurongo kugirango babisohoke. Ibi bivamo gutakaza amasaha 50 yigihe cyimashini kumwaka. Bamwe mu bakozi bakomerekejwe n'urushinge rudakabije nubwo bambara uturindantoki.
Ibiti na styrofoam ntabwo biri mubikoresho bikunze gutunganywa kumuhanda. Ibintu bidahuye byajugunywe hamwe nibisubirwamo bigomba gukurwaho nabakozi hanyuma amaherezo bikajugunywa.
Mugihe ibikoresho bya pulasitike ari byiza cyane mu gutunganya, ibikoresho byari birimo amavuta cyangwa andi mazi yaka umuriro ntibyakunzwe mu bigo bitunganya ibicuruzwa. Ni ukubera ko amavuta n’amazi yaka umuriro bitera ibibazo byihariye mugutunganya, harimo gukora flash point no guhindura chimie ya plastike. Ibikoresho nk'ibi bigomba kujugunywa mu myanda cyangwa bigakoreshwa mu rugo kugira ngo birinde amavuta asigaye.
Hariho aho ushobora gutunganya imyenda nka Goodwill cyangwa The Salvation Army, ariko amabati yo kumuhanda ntabwo aribwo buryo bwiza. Imyambarire irashobora gufunga imashini kubitunganya, bityo abakozi bakeneye kuba maso mugihe bagerageza gukuramo imyenda itari yo.
Utwo dusanduku ntushobora gukoreshwa kuri PennWaste. Ariko aho kubijugunya muri bin, ushobora gutekereza kubitanga mwishuri, isomero, cyangwa ububiko bwamafaranga aho hashobora gukenerwa udusanduku twinshi kugirango dusimbuze ibyacitse cyangwa byatakaye.
Uyu mutuku wijimye urababaje rwose. Ariko bamwe mu bakozi ba PennWaste bagombaga kuyikuramo kumurongo wo kubyaza umusaruro kuko itari irimo fibre yongeye gukoreshwa mumashanyarazi ya jelly. PennWaste ntabwo yemera impapuro zikoreshwa cyangwa igitambaro.
Ibikinisho nk'iyi farashi n'ibindi bicuruzwa by'abana bikozwe muri plastiki zikomeye zo mu nganda ntibishobora gukoreshwa. Ifarashi yakuwe ku murongo w'iteraniro i Pennwaist mu cyumweru gishize.
Ibirahuri byo kunywa bikozwe mubirahuri by'isasu, bidashobora gutunganywa kuruhande rwumuhanda. Amacupa ya divayi na soda arashobora gutunganywa (usibye muri Harrisburg, mu ntara ya Dauphin, no mu yindi mijyi yahagaritse gukusanya ibirahuri). PennWaste iracyemera ibirahuri kubakiriya kuko imashini irashobora gutandukanya uduce duto twikirahure nibindi bintu.
Imifuka yo guhaha ya plastike hamwe n imifuka yimyanda ntabwo byemewe mubibindi byumuhanda wumuhanda kuko bizapfunyika mumodoka yikigo. Sorteri igomba guhanagurwa nintoki kabiri kumunsi kuko imifuka, imyenda nibindi bintu bifatanye. Ibi bibangamira imikorere ya sorter, nkuko byashizweho kugirango yemere ibintu bito, biremereye kugwa hejuru. Kugira ngo asukure imodoka, umukozi yashyizeho umugozi ku murongo utukura hejuru y’ifoto maze atema imifuka n’ibintu byababaje. Ibiribwa byinshi hamwe nububiko bunini birashobora gutunganya imifuka yo kugura plastike.
Impapuro zishobora kuboneka kuri PennWaste, nubwo zidashobora gukoreshwa (zisukuye cyangwa zanduye). Abayobozi ba Harrisburg bavuze ko abantu bamwe bajugunye ibipapuro mu bikoresho byo gutunganya ibicuruzwa aho kubijugunya neza nk'umukino.
PennWaste ntishobora gusubiramo iyi migozi. Bageze ku ruganda rutunganya, abakozi bagerageje kubaroba hanze y'iteraniro. Ahubwo, abantu bashaka guta imigozi yabo ishaje, insinga, insinga, hamwe na bateri zishobora gukoreshwa birashobora kubisiga kumuryango wambere wububiko bwiza.
Icupa ryuzuye talc ryageze mu kigo cy’ibicuruzwa cya PennWaste mu cyumweru gishize ariko byabaye ngombwa ko bivanwa ku murongo w’ibicuruzwa. Ibikoresho bya pulasitiki biri muri iki gikoresho birashobora gukoreshwa, ariko kontineri igomba kuba irimo ubusa. Umukandara wa convoyeur wagendaga ibintu byihuse kubakozi kugirango bapakurure ibintu uko byanyuze.
Dore uko bigenda iyo umuntu ajugunye isahani yo kogosha amavuta mumyanda kandi iracyafite amavuta yo kogosha: inzira yo gupakira irangira ikuramo ibisigaye, bigatera akajagari. Witondere gusiba ibintu byose mbere yo gutunganya.
Ibimanikwa bya plastiki birashobora gukorwa muburyo butandukanye bwa plastiki, kubwibyo ntibishobora gukoreshwa. Ntugerageze gutunganya ibimanikwa bya pulasitike cyangwa ibintu binini bikozwe muri plastiki zikomeye. Abakozi ba PennWaste bagombaga guta ibintu binini nka swingi ya "recycling". Nyuma ya byose, bajyana ibyo bintu byinshi mumyanda hakiri kare.
Ibikoresho bya plastiki bigomba kwozwa ibiryo n imyanda mbere yo kubijugunya mumyanda. Iki gikoresho gifite inganda zingana ninganda biragaragara ko atari ko bimeze. Imyanda y'ibiribwa irashobora kandi kwangiza ibindi bikoresho bisubirwamo nkibisanduku bya pizza. Abahanga barasaba gukuraho amavuta arenze cyangwa foromaje hejuru yisanduku ya pizza mbere yo gushyira ikarito mumyanda.
Ibipapuro by'amacupa ya plastiki birashobora gukoreshwa, ariko nibyiza kutabikora mugihe bikiri kumacupa. Iyo ingofero isigaye mu mwanya, plastiki ntabwo igabanuka mugihe cyo gupakira, nkuko icupa ryuzuye 7-Up ryerekana. Nk’uko Tim Horkey wo muri PennWaste abitangaza ngo amacupa y'amazi ni ibintu bigoye kuyanyunyuza (hamwe n'ingofero).
Gupfunyika ikirere ntibisubirwamo kandi mubyukuri bifata kumodoka nkimifuka yo guhaha ya plastike, ntukayijugunye mumyanda. Ikindi kintu kidashobora gusubirwamo: feri ya aluminium. Amabati ya aluminium, yego. Ifu ya aluminium, oya.
Umunsi urangiye, nyuma ya balers, nuburyo buryo bwo gusubiramo ibintu biva muri PennWaste. Umuyobozi wa Recycling, Tim Horkey yavuze ko imifuka yagurishijwe ku bakiriya ku isi. Ibikoresho bitangwa mugihe cyicyumweru 1 kubakiriya bo murugo hamwe niminsi 45 kubakiriya bo mumahanga muri Aziya.
PennWaste yafunguye uruganda rushya rufite metero kare 96.000-y’imyanda itunganyirizwa mu myaka ibiri ishize muri Gashyantare, hamwe n’ibikoresho bigezweho bitangiza byinshi mu bikorwa byo kunoza imikorere no kugabanya umwanda. Baler nshya yashyizweho mu ntangiriro zuku kwezi. Ikigo gishya gifite ibikoresho bya optique gishobora gukuba inshuro zirenga ebyiri tonnage yibishobora gukoreshwa buri kwezi.
Ikaye hamwe nimpapuro za mudasobwa byongeye gukoreshwa mubice byo mumaso, impapuro zumusarani nimpapuro nshya. Amabati y'ibyuma n'amabati yongeye gukoreshwa mu gukora rebar, ibice by'amagare n'ibikoresho, mu gihe amabati ya aluminiyumu yongeye gukoreshwa akoreshwa mu gukora amabati mashya ya aluminium. Impapuro zivanze hamwe nubutumwa bwimyanda irashobora gukoreshwa muburyo bwa shitingi hamwe nigitambaro cyo kumpapuro.
