Vehicle Loading and Special Instructions

All delivery vehicles must be loaded to meet Department of Transportation standards. In addition, deliveries must be loaded to minimize shifting and damage during transit. Loose materials in a delivery truck or any type of spill in the truck could present a health and/or safety concern which may result in the delivery being rejected once it arrives at the Covanta energy from waste facility.

All deliveries

The following guidelines apply to all deliveries to an Covanta energy from waste facility:

  1. Materials should be loaded onto the delivery truck at the Client site in a manner that will facilitate unloading by pallet jack or forklift at the Covanta energy from waste facility.
  2. All pallets and containers should be secured in the delivery truck in a manner that protects their integrity during transit.
  3. Improperly loaded, shifted or spilled deliveries may require additional handling and associated costs, or they may be rejected.
  4. Appropriate shrink-wrapping, banding and dunnage should be used to avoid over-the-road problems.

Segregated and Special Handling Deliveries

Certain types of materials may require special handling to ensure safe management and disposal. Special handling requirements are outlined in the Terms and Conditions letter within the individual approval package.

It is important to make sure all loads are secure before they are released from the Client site.

For deliveries that contain materials requiring segregation and/or special handling please use the following loading procedures:

  1. Place special handling materials on segregated pallets.

  2. Properly label special handling materials.

  3. Verify that all special handling materials are clearly indicated on the delivery manifest (a portion of the QA/QC review will verify that all paper work for special handling materials matches).

  4. Load special handling materials last so they may be unloaded first.
