Waste Transfer Station Regulations

Waste Transfer Station regulations ensure safe, environmentally responsible handling of waste. They require proper location selection, design, and operation to prevent air and water pollution, odors, and pests. Facilities must have clear procedures for waste sorting, storage, and transportation, along with proper reporting and record-keeping. Staff are often trained in safety protocols, and regular inspections are mandated to ensure compliance. These regulations also aim to prevent illegal dumping, protect public health, and minimize environmental impact by adhering to local, state, and federal standards.
