What is a transfer station? 

This is a building or processing site for the temporary deposition, consolidation, and aggregation of waste. From here waste can be divided, sorted, and taken to the correct disposal location: whether it is our Waste-to-Energy Facility or offsite recycling service to recover materials such as metals. 

The new 53,000-square-foot transfer station is accompanied by a 5,600-square-foot employee building and a new comprehensive drop-off area for residents from the City to dispose of their waste more efficiently and conveniently. 

• Approximately 30,000 square foot commercial tipping floor with 2” concrete topping and ½” armor steel push plates at the perimeter.
• Commercial loading tunnel.
• A landfill gas/vent mitigation system.
• Two (2) truck scales at the commercial loading tunnel.
• Two (2) knuckle-boom cranes with trash grapples at the tipping floor.
• A masonry control booth with aluminum stairs and windows on the tipping floor.
• 1000kW diesel fuel generator.

This project will open up our existing transfer station to be used for other waste and disposal purposes.
