The transfer station is a central point for the city’s garbage trucks and residents to dump trash, but also offers opportunities to divert landfill waste.
The new Solid Waste Services central transfer station, seen from an indoor observation deck, features recycling and pink compost bins at the wall where residents dump trash.
Kelli Toth is the Recycling and Information Manager with Solid Waste Services. On a tour of the new facility, she explained how the city’s trash service works, and their current focus on diverting waste. Those carts, you can put anything that’s recyclable in there, like the cardboard, the aluminum, the mix paper, the number one and number two bottles, those can all go in one cart. And so solid waste services will pick that up.
