Cook Country Transfer Station Facility Project

Construct a transfer station facility to improve solid waste processing in Cook and eastern Lake County. Managing waste in an indoor facility will reduce or eliminate the risk of pollutants becoming air-borne or leeching into ground water. Protecting Lake Superior from forever chemicals such as PFAs; addresses climate impacts by reducing the amount of fossil fuels used; and creates operational efficiencies that ensure a sustainable operation both now and into the future.



This project will:

  1. Reduce negative environmental impacts to water, soil and air quality
  2. Reduce fossil fuel and CO2 emissions
  3. Control costs through operational efficiencies
  4. Built ready to incorporate emerging technologies
