A light processing facility shall not shred, compact, or bale ferrous metals other than food and beverage containers; b. A heavy processing facility is any proc- essing facility other than a light processing facility. C. “Reverse vending machine” means an automated mechanical device which accepts at least one or more types of empty beverage containers in- cluding, but not limited to aluminum cans, glass and plastic bottles, and issues a cash refund or a redeem- able credit slip with a value not less than the con- tainer’s redemption value as determined by the state. A reverse vending machine may sort and process containers mechanically provided that the entire process is enclosed within the machine. In order to accept and temporarily store all three container types in a proportion commensurate with their relative redemption rates, and to meet the requirements of certification as a recycling facility, multiple group- ing of reverse vending machines may be necessary. A bulk reverse vending machine is a reverse vending machine that is larger than 50 square feet, is de- signed to accept more than one container at a time, and will pay by weight instead of by container. D. “Mobile recycling unit” means an auto- mobile, truck, trailer or van, licensed by the Depart- ment of Motor Vehicles, which is used for the col- lection of recyclable materials. A mobile recycling unit also means the bins, boxes or containers trans- ported by trucks, vans or trailers, and used for the collection of recyclable materials.
