Grind and transfer strategies

Article Abstract:

The importance of transfer stations in the management of organic solid wastes is increasing day by day. The compost sites are situated in the remote areas. The dropoff procedure and the hauling economics of the recycling process are improved by private and public sector composters using the transfer stations. The organic waste materials are produced mostly in the urban areas, although there are difficulties in establishing composting facilities in these areas because of a shortage of available land.
