Transfer Station

A transfer station is a facility where waste and recyclables from collection vehicles are temporarily stored and consolidated. Its main purpose is to efficiently transfer the waste to larger transport vehicles, such as long-distance trucks, for final disposal or recycling. Located strategically, transfer stations reduce traffic and transportation costs by limiting the number of trips needed to move waste over long distances. They are designed with safety and environmental controls to manage waste safely. Overall, transfer stations streamline waste management processes, making collection and disposal more efficient and environmentally responsible.
