Question

which of these correctly describes how the garbage is handled at a waste incineration facility after it arrives but before the garbage is actually burned? the garbage is mixed by an operator before being burned in order to create a constant burn rate. the garbage from each garbage truck is hand - sorted into seven categories. all food scraps are removed by employees then sent to a composting facility in another state. the garbage is closely examined by health department employees to make sure its okay to burn.

Explanation:

At a waste - incineration facility, before burning, the garbage is often mixed by an operator to create a more consistent burn rate. Hand - sorting into seven categories is not a common practice as it is labor - intensive and time - consuming. Removing all food scraps and sending them to another state is not typical for most incineration facilities. Health department employees do not usually closely examine garbage at incineration facilities before burning.

Answer:

The garbage is mixed by an operator before being burned in order to create a constant burn rate.
