Transfer station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For railway transfer stations, see Interchange station
A transfer station is a building for the temporary deposition of some wastes. Transfer stations are often used as places where local waste collection vehicles will deposit their waste cargo prior to loading into larger vehicles. These larger vehicles will transport the waste to the end point of disposal or treatment.
It is possible that in the future we will recover usable material from our waste in material recovery facilities and with localised mechanical biological treatment systems.
