Residents and commercial haulers can bring trash to the Pine Tree Corners Transfer Station instead
of driving to one of DSWA's Landfills . Vehicles drive up a ramp into an enclosed building where trash is dumped
onto a concrete floor. A backhoe carefully pushes the trash into a transfer trailer, which takes it to a DSWA
landfill. Key features of the transfer station consist of a scale house, two scales, two transfer station
buildings, and a trailer storage building. There is a separate transfer area for residents. In addition, there
are designated areas outside to receive used appliances, tires, and yard waste.
