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.”

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.

Biosolids flow snapshot

This 2015 snapshot shows Sullivan County's biosolids moving through landfill, hauling, and land application sequences. Use it to frame constraints before you size anything.

The Sullivan flows chart highlights disposal, hauling, and land application patterns near Monticello.

HVB does not support co-digestion of sewage sludge with food waste; treat this as routing context and a guardrails trigger.

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.
