The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), Topeka, Kan., says it is seeking comments from the public on an application from Deffenbaugh Industries, Kansas City, Kan., to operate a solid waste and recycling transfer station in Topeka. The deadline for comments is Sept. 19, 2011.
According to KDHE, the transfer station building being proposed is a pre-engineered free span metal building. The tipping floor within the building will be divided into two sections: one for receiving solid waste, while the other half will take in recyclables.
The site includes a shop building, scale and scale house, office, citizen’s recycling drop-off area, fueling area, truck and trailer parking areas and dumpster/roll-off storage area. At this time, Deffenbaugh plans to transport the transfer station material to other Deffenbaugh-owned facilities.
A copy of the application and public notice has been posted on the KDHE Bureau of Waste Management website at www.kdheks.gov/waste.
