Edith Transfer Station

The City of Albuquerque Edith Transfer Station Facility was originally planned and designed to feature several distinct structures, including the transfer station, administration offices, a 17-bay vehicle maintenance facility, public drop-off areas, and a three-level staff parking structure.  A separate building will serve as the Household Hazardous Waste collection facility and reuse center. The fully enclosed Edith Transfer Station, would be able to handle 2,000 tons of materials per day, and   receive residential trash from curbside routes for transfer into semi-trailers, significantly reducing collection vehicle trips to the City’s landfill. The transfer station facility would have fast-acting doors to control noise, dust and odors and would adjoin a two-story administrative building that will be home to the Solid Waste Department and Keep Albuquerque Beautiful offices. On the second floor, visitors will be welcomed in a conference area that overlooks the tipping floor.

In 2018, the City decided to remove the transfer station, HHW and parking structure from the design program and continue with the Vehicle Maintenance building and administrative office building.
