Once you throw your trash away, the trash truck picks it up and brings it to the Transfer Station

The trucks dump the trash on to the Transfer Station floor.

The trash is smashed and compacted so that it can be loaded onto tractor trailers to be driven to its forever home, the landfill.

CCRRA receives 400 tons of trash per day. That is about 100,000 tons of trash per year.

CCRRA sends 18 tractor trailers of trash to the landfill each day.

CCRRA also collects scrap metal for recycling at the Transfer Station.

The metal is also smashed and compacted, but does not go to a landfill – it goes to a recycling center to be made into new metal.
