Biffa Waste Transfer Station

Waste transfer stations  

Biffa operates a network of over 50 waste transfer stations. We cost-effectively, sustainably and compliantly sort and process waste collected by ourselves and other licensed waste carriers.

A UK network for efficiently sorting waste 

Our Waste Transfer Stations (WTS) are designed to efficiently store and sort waste materials before they are moved on for disposal or treatment. Our commercial waste disposal sites and transfer stations are suitable for organisations of all sizes including councils, local authorities, facilities management organisations and other licensed waste providers and carriers. Our extensive infrastructure, which consists of over 50 sites across the UK, allows you to reduce the costs of both waste storage and disposal. 

Compliant and sustainable

As always with Biffa, you can trust that your waste is being processed in a compliant and sustainable way. All our waste transfer sites can house and sort recyclable material, general household waste, food waste, and green waste before it is transferred to various recycling or other treatment facilities or sent for disposal.  

Processed waste such as cardboard or wood can be recycled, while food waste can be processed in our Anaerobic Digestion plants to create agricultural products or energy. We also have specialist waste transfer stations around the UK equipped to safely process hazardous waste. 

Reducing the environmental impact of waste 

We carefully monitor and report on the environmental impact of our waste transfer sites, continuously identifying opportunities to improve. Our staff are also trained to minimise harmful emissions. For example, we spray dusty waste materials with water to reduce particulates and ensure that all vehicles on site reduce unnecessary engine idling.

Why Biffa?

We provide detailed reports on all waste processed giving producers and suppliers full visibility of what happens to their waste and ensures compliance. 
We promise a smooth process at our sites, reducing waiting times and increasing efficiency. 
We offer bespoke and flexible contracts, with volume rebates depending on the amount of waste you drop off with us. 
For local authorities, we can sort and transfer waste into larger bulk haulage vehicles better suited to transport waste over long distances.
