Struggling to keep your transfer station running efficiently? Weighing should be a seamless part of the waste transfer process — and that’s exactly what our systems are built for.

Every vehicle arriving at a transfer station starts at the weighbridge. Accurate weight data isn’t just about correct billing for tippage or gate fees — it’s also what feeds your waste transfer documentation and reporting.

With a constant flow of heavy trucks moving through the site, managing traffic matters as much as the weighing itself. Access barriers, traffic lights, and digital cameras — combined with a weighbridge traffic management system — help keep vehicles moving safely, while custom-fitted sensors confirm each truck has fully entered or exited the weighing zone and flag unusual or potentially fraudulent transactions.

Floor scales and forklift scales extend that same accuracy through sorting and recovery, integrating with your existing systems to make them more efficient, not more complicated.

Waste and recycling regulations are getting more complex, and so are the requirements for tracking and reporting. In the US, transfer stations are primarily regulated at the state level, with most states requiring a solid waste facility permit and accurate weight reporting on what’s received and shipped. Where hazardous waste is handled, federal requirements under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), enforced by the EPA, also apply.

Our weighing systems and complementary software integrate with your existing back-office systems, so meeting these reporting requirements becomes part of your normal operation — not a separate burden.

In addition to accuracy, cost of ownership is always a major factor for waste and recycling operations — and that starts with durability. Selecting equipment built for this environment directly affects your bottom line: low maintenance means fewer service trips, less downtime, and less spent over the life of the scale.

Avery Weigh-Tronix is backed by a network of dedicated technicians on hand to install and maintain your equipment, including regular calibration, servicing, and repair. Focusing on preventative maintenance keeps your equipment running at peak efficiency and reduces the risk of costly, unplanned breakdowns.

We’re committed to high-quality, lifetime service support for all of our weighing equipment — so your operation stays accurate, compliant, and up and running.
