The process begins with the deposit of trash into intake hatches, called portholes, which may be specialized for waste, recycling, or compost.
he waste is then pulled through an underground pipeline by air pressure difference created by large industrial fans, in response to porthole sensors that indicate when the trash needs to be emptied and help ensure that only one kind of waste material is travelling through the pipe at a time.
