Organic material handling system

An organic material handling system comprising:

• a receiving module configured to receive organic material from a container vehicle and to move the organic material in a first direction toward an outlet of the receiving module, the organic material being discharged downward at the outlet of the receiving module;
• a transfer module configured to receive the organic material from the outlet of the receiving module, and to move the received organic material in a second direction toward an outlet of the transfer module;
• a storage module having an upper opening configured to receive and accumulate the organic material following handling by at least the transfer module, the storage module further comprising:
• an internal conveyor disposed in a bottom region of the storage module and configured to move the organic waste from the storage module onto the discharge module when the discharge module is operating;
• and a levelling conveyor disposed in a top region of the storage module, the levelling conveyor configured to distribute the organic material internally within the storage module;
• and
• a discharge module configured to receive the organic material from the storage module and to deliver the organic material from an outlet of the discharge module to a second container vehicle, the discharge module operable independently from at least the receiving module and the transfer module.

A method of handling an organic material, the method comprising:

• by a receiving module:
• receiving the organic material from a container vehicle, moving the organic material in a first direction toward an outlet of the receiving module, and discharging the organic material downward at the outlet of the receiving module;
• by a transfer module:
• receiving the organic material falling from the outlet of the receiving module and moving the received organic material in a second direction toward an outlet of the transfer module;
• by a storage module having an upper opening:
• receiving and accumulating the organic material following handling by at least the transfer module;
• by a discharge module:
• receiving the organic material from the storage module delivering the organic material from an outlet of the discharge module to a second container vehicle, the discharge module operable independently from at least the receiving module and the transfer module;
• and
• by one or more liquid capture systems:
• capturing and retaining liquid expelled by the organic material.
