As the name implies, a transfer station is a place where waste is transferred from compactors to larger trucks or even trains. Recycling and other waste processing may occur at some transfer stations. If you live near a waste transfer station, please take a moment to complete this brief survey about how it has affected you.  CEDS helps folks throughout the USA concerned about proposed (new) transfer stations and the expansion of existing ones.  They frequently ask if there's any reason why they should be concerned.  Your responses to the following questions will allow us to present them with the realities of living near these facilities.  This information may also help us identify options for managing waste without harming area residents.  For further detail visit our Protecting Communities & the Environment from Landfills, Transfer Stations, and Material Recovery (Recycling) Facilities webpage at: https://ceds.org/landfill.
