Many of our customers do not know that there is a difference between these items.

A dump is an informal site where waste is deposited without any proper planning or management. Dumps can pose serious environmental hazards, including groundwater contamination, air pollution, and the spread of disease. As a child I remember going to the local dump to get rid of our trash and "Garbage".

A transfer station is a facility where waste is temporarily stored before it is transported to a landfill or recycling center. Transfer stations are used to consolidate waste from various collection points, which can help reduce transportation costs and emissions. The AC Trash Hauling team uses a variety of transfer stations to get rid of the "junk" and "trash" that we haul away.

A landfill is a designated area where waste is disposed of in a carefully engineered and managed manner. Modern landfills are designed to minimize environmental impacts, such as odor and groundwater contamination, and are typically lined with impermeable materials to prevent leakage of waste into the surrounding environment. Landfills can also capture and utilize gases generated by the decomposition of organic materials to generate electricity or heat.
