Transfer stations serve a key role in the management of waste materials by serving as the vital link between waste collection and final disposal. Designed to efficiently manage the sorting and consolidation of waste, including recyclables, these facilities help to ensure that materials are processed in an environmentally responsible manner.
Since it’s not likely that all communities would have the space or resources to be able to support a landfill, transfer stations help by facilitating the movement of waste to appropriate disposal facilities, these stations help communities minimize their environmental impact while effectively managing their waste resources.
