East Wake Transfer Station Partial Closure

As of Feb. 19, half of the East Wake Transfer Station floor has been temporarily closed for the construction of new trench drains. This is the second phase of the construction project and is expected to take up to 6 weeks to complete.

Similar to the initial phase of this project, arrangements have been made to process approximately half of the usual tonnage at an alternative facility to minimize delays. Haulers are encouraged to visit the South Wake Landfill. Traffic direction and flow are expected to remain consistent with normal operations.
