Monticello Transfer Station

A site archetype diagram illustrating a circular system pathway centered on a transfer station context. Use this as a discussion artifact: stakeholders, material flows, constraints, and pilot “next steps.”

Archetype Transfer station Circular flows
How this site was selected: Mapping layers pair feedstocks with infrastructure, the matrix approach (industrial/hauling, feedstock variation, pyrolysis, space/expansion) distills the strongest candidates, and the 25-50 mile coverage logic keeps proposals balanced. Read the methodology.

Evidence & policy context

  • Data & maps hub — ground each archetype in the baseline data, flows, and county briefs before pitching it.
  • Policy & funding hub — choose the right story (CLCPA, diversion, EJ) for this system.
  • CLCPA brief — tie the archetype into the state’s climate accountability framework.
  • Food waste law brief — highlight the diversion/compliance rationale when organics are on the route.
