What is a Waste Transfer Station?
A waste transfer station is an industrial facility where waste is temporarily held and sorted before heading to a landfill or waste-to-energy plant. Garbage trucks come to this facility to drop off trash. Where it is then loaded onto larger vehicles and shipped off. These stations often operate hand-in-hand with material recovery facilities. This allows them to properly remove recyclable items from the trash. And different endpoints receive the waste. These include landfills, incinerators, hazardous waste facilities, and recycling centers. See the capabilities of our recycling facility and the objects we can recycle. We are proud to offer the recycling of many different items.
What Happens At A Transfer Station?
Once the waste is brought to our transfer station, a few things happen. Our workers sort the garbage dropped off by delivery and garbage trucks. Any items that are not accepted at local landfills are removed before the remaining materials are compacted. These items can be batteries or other hazardous items. Then, all of it is reloaded onto trucks, trains or barges and head out.
The Benefits of Using A Waste Transfer Station
Transfer stations are important to cost-effective solid waste transportation for cities and municipalities. You can significantly reduce the transportation cost and environmental impact of moving trash from homes and businesses to the landfill. And by utilizing a transfer station in the process. The waste can be effectively transferred from the small, local collection trucks onto larger vehicles such as a train or barge. Transfer stations around the country process millions of tons of garbage on an annual level.
These stations are also an opportunity to recover recyclable items and take them out of the waste stream. This, also, greatly helps the environment. Since it means one less harmful item is put into the compost. These stations also prevent hazardous waste from winding up in a landfill, which in turn limits chemical pollution and any future soil contamination. A waste transfer station can also double as a drop-off center for residents to take bulk items or recycling. And since garbage trucks run shorter routes with lighter loads, there are fuel savings and less road wear. All in all, many of these benefits are in terms of our environment.
