Weather conditions can have a significant impact on the performance of daily cover materials. Heavy rain can saturate loose materials like shredded green waste or compost, making them heavier, harder to spread, and more likely to wash away.
Strong winds can lift lightweight covers or tarps, exposing waste and creating litter hazards. Extreme heat or cold may affect spray-on foams by changing their curing time or flexibility, while synthetic liners may become brittle in very cold temperatures or expand in high heat. Operators must account for these conditions when selecting the type of cover they plan to use.
