Frequently Asked Questions
What is a transfer station and Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)?
A transfer station is a facility that accepts solid waste from haulers, businesses and residents. The purpose of a transfer station is to save on the number of vehicles traveling to and from landfills or incinerators and to also cut down on fuel and green house gas emissions. In addition to being a transfer station, Lemcor is also permitted as a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). A MRF accepts mixed solid waste streams and then proceeds to separate recyclable materials.
What happens to the solid waste and recyclables that are collected at Lemcor?
Haulers, businesses, and residents dispose of their waste within the confines of Lemcor’s building on a concrete tipping floor. Recyclables are removed from the waste stream and stored in separate containers prior to shipment to their respected processors.. The waste is put into transfer trailers and or rail containers and taken to final disposal destinations such as landfills and Resource Recovery Facilities.
