A transfer station, also known as a Remote Disposal Facility, is a localized site for temporary deposition of waste from the surrounding area. The implementation of transfer stations in different regions makes waste management more efficient and cost effective.

Refuse transport vehicle, such as the rear-end loader, will collect waste from different garbage points such as the residential areas or offices, and deposit the collected refuse into the transfer station. The deposited refuse will then undergo processing and compaction within the transfer station.
