1. What is a transfer station?

A transfer station is a facility which collects waste from small, locally driven collection vehicles, such as garbage trucks. The garbage trucks tip their loads onto the floor of the transfer station, and the waste is loaded into a semi-trailer for more efficient transport to a different facility. There are many kinds of transfer stations.

2. Why doesn’t Pilgrim Landfill accept all kinds of waste?

The Pilgrim Landfill is licensed to accept Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste. C&D waste is made up mostly of waste lumber, broken cement and block, ceramic plumbing fixtures, plaster, drywall, and other more inert materials. Construction requirements are not as stringent for this type of facility, so they cannot accept other municipal waste.
