Transfer Station Overview

Providing Convenience and Reducing Truck Traffic

Every year, over 75,000 loads cross the scales at the Transfer Station, which consolidates and compacts waste for transfer to the Resource Recovery Facility or the Frey Farm Landfill.

The Transfer Station in Manheim Township is active Monday through Saturday, as an average of more than 250 commercial haulers and residents arrive every day with refuse as well as certain construction and demolition debris. Electronic scales calculate the weight of each load, and compliance officers inspect the loads to verify their content.

In addition to its convenient location, a major benefit of the Transfer Station is that it greatly reduces truck traffic on the county’s highways by serving as a waste delivery consolidation point. In fact, for every five vehicles that enter the facility, only one is needed to haul compacted waste on the final leg of its disposal journey.
