The Tipping Floor

A Front End Loader Moving the Refuse Dumped by the Red Refuse Truck Waste (trash) from commercial haulers and full trailers are emptied by truck in the Transfer Station building. The area inside the Transfer Station building where trucks empty their load is called the "tipping floor". The tipping floor is reached through the Transfer Station entrance off of Shady Grove Road. The load is dumped directly onto the floor of the Tipping Floor, where "front end loaders" push the refuse into the top of a compactor.
