A study is presented of solid waste handling, storage, processing, and disposal systems and practices in multistory buildings, hospitals, and detention facilities. The complete study is reported in four volumes. Volume II is a detailed study and evaluation of systems and practices in fifteen County-owned building complexes, including seven hospitals, four multistory office buildings, and four detention facilities, varying in function and size within each classification. The report establishes the theoretical standards of operation peculiar to each plant and, through field observations, actual operating conditions of these systems. (Author)
