Transfer Station

What is a "Transfer Station"?

A transfer station is an affordable and environmentally friendly processing site for the temporary deposition of waste. The City of Carlin maintains a local transfer station as a convenience to the community, while the nearest landfill is located roughly 30 miles east in Elko Nevada.  

What is the difference between a "Transfer Station" and a "Landfill"?

A transfer station is a temporary location for waste disposal before being transferred/shipped to a landfill. All waste must be sorted by category at a transfer station (metal, limbs, plastics etc.).  While a landfill typically allows for all waste to be disposed of in the same area. Depending on the size and means available, a transfer station may not be equipped to accept certain items that a formal landfill site is able to.
