A Transfer Station is a facility where waste is temporarily held before being transported to a final disposal site, such as a landfill or recycling center. These stations help manage waste more efficiently by consolidating materials from various sources, reducing the number of trips needed for waste collection. At a transfer station, garbage trucks unload their loads, and the waste is sorted and compacted. This process can include separating recyclable materials, such as paper and plastics, from general waste. By streamlining waste management, transfer stations play a crucial role in promoting environmental sustainability and reducing landfill use.
