Guidelines for Establishing Transfer Stations for Municipal Solid Waste

This guideline is based on a report prepared for the Ministry of Environment, Lands & Parks (now called Environment) by UMA Engineering Inc. of Victoria, BC in fulfillment of a ministry funded project. The views and ideas expressed in this guideline are principally those of the contractor and reflect the ministry's position. However, mention of trade names, commercial products or supplier names does not constitute endorsement or recommendations for use by the ministry.

The Branch intends that the document be used to assist regional districts, municipalities and their consultants in the establishment of transfer station facilities during the implementation of solid waste management plans.
