TRANSFER STATION A transfer Station is a processing site where waste is deposited temporarily. In transfer stations, local waste collection vehicles deposit the waste into larger site containers. The larger size containers then transport the waste to the treatment facility or disposal sites.
Need of Transfer Station When hauling distance to processing site or disposal facility is high. Processing centres or disposal stations in remote location cannot be reached directly from highways. These results in occurrences of illegal dumping due to excessive haul distance.
Types of Transfer Station 1) Direct Load-transfer Station 2) Storage Load-transfer Station 3) Combined Direct Load and Storage Load-transfer Station
Types of Transfer Station 1) Direct Load-transfer Station At direct-load transfer station, the wastes in the collection vehicles are emptied directly into the vehicles to be used to transport them to processing centre, MRFs or final disposal. Source: NPTEL – Municipal Solid Waste Management
Types of Transfer Station 2) Storage Load-transfer Station At storage load transfer station, the wastes are emptied directly into storage pit from which they are loaded into transport vehicles by various types of equipment. The difference between direct-load and storage-load transfer station is that the pit is designed with a capacity to store waste .

Types of Transfer Station 3) Combined Direct Load and Storage Load-transfer Station Many countries use both direct-load and storage load methods at transfer stations. It is a multipurpose facilities where both facilities is used for loading of solid waste. At these transfer stations many types processing and MRFs facilities are served at same platform.
