waste transfer station

A waste transfer station is a facility where waste collected from homes, businesses, and other sources is temporarily held before being transported to a final disposal or processing site. Its main purpose is to consolidate waste, making transportation more efficient by minimizing trips and handling. Waste is typically compacted or sorted at the station, and then loaded onto larger vehicles for longer-distance transport to landfills, recycling centers, or treatment plants. These stations help manage waste more effectively, reduce traffic on roads, and support environmental efforts by streamlining waste collection and disposal processes.
