What types of waste are accepted at transfer facilities?
Transfer facilities typically accept municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, recyclables, and organic waste. Some facilities may also handle hazardous or industrial waste with proper permits.
Why is waste sent to a transfer facility?
Transfer facilities improve efficiency by consolidating waste from multiple collection points into larger loads, reducing transportation costs and environmental impact for long-distance hauling.
Do transfer facilities separate recyclables from waste?
Some transfer facilities are equipped to separate recyclables from waste, but not all provide this service. Check with the facility to confirm their recycling capabilities.
