What is a transfer facility?

A transfer facility is a site where waste is temporarily held before being transported to its final destination, such as a landfill, recycling center, or waste treatment facility.

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.
