Transfer station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 small material recovery facilities and localised mechanical biological treatment systems will recover recylables to fit in with the proximity principle.
