What is a Transfer Station?

 
It is NOT a waste disposal facility - it is a facility where non-hazardous solid waste is unloaded from smaller trucks and reloaded into larger vehicles for transport to a disposal or recycling site.
 

Why are Transfer Stations needed?

• Consolidating solid waste, transfer stations offers more flexibility in waste handling and disposal;

• Lowers collection costs and hauling costs;

• Offers convenient drop-off;

• Reduces air pollution, fuel consumption, and road wear by consolidating trash into fewer vehicles; and

• Allows for separation of recyclables.

Benefits to the municipalities and residents:

• Transportation cost savings of their collection fleet;

• Environmental benefits including reduced air emissions, reduced fuel consumption, reduced carbon footprints;

• Local employment;

• Allows for screening of materials that are easily recyclable;

• More competitive residential waste collection fees;

• Local drop-off area for residents for oversize items; and

• Support to the community through sponsorship opportunities.
