any municipalities throughout California and the United States are facing
the important issue of solid waste disposal. Recycling continues to be
part of the solution in moving toward the ultimate goal of zero waste.
However, with local landfills beginning to approach closure dates, municipal
solid waste will be forced to move greater distances.
A solid waste transfer
station with its ability to consolidate loads from smaller vehicles into
larger ones for transport over greater distance is a critical solution to
the immediate problem facing our communities.
The
Pomona Valley Transfer Station Project (click
the link to view an animation of the project) will move Pomona into
the future with such a solution. Unfortunately, there remain many
misconceptions and myths regarding a transfer station.
The
information provided on this web site and on our facebook page
is intended to present the project and to clarify some of the important
questions and concerns regarding a transfer station in Pomona.
