However, there is a significant opportunity to transition these facilities to Circular Economy Hubs that offer the ability to reuse, repair and repurpose materials to eliminate waste disposal in landfills.?

In this webinar, we will discuss current best practice transfer station design, the evolution of circular economy hubs and how they can be implemented at different scales. We will also explore the keys to success through a flexible design that responds to community needs and evolving material streams.?
