1. 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;
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; and
one or more liquid capture systems in fluidic communication with one or more of the receiving module, the transfer module, the storage module and the discharge module, and configured to at least capture and retain liquid expelled by the organic material from said one or more of the receiving module, the transfer module, the storage module and the discharge module.
