New Station Design & Planned Improvements

Proposed Design (enlarge image) The proposed site plan shows the layout and improved features of the new Bow Lake Transfer and Recycling Station.

The Solid Waste Division has developed a site plan that shows the layout and improved features of the new Bow Lake Transfer and Recycling Station.

Planned improvements include:

• An expanded recycling collection area where customers can bring materials for recycling and composting, including a separate yard waste area
• A larger transfer building that will have easier-to-use waste unloading areas, which will reduce customer wait times
• An enclosed transfer building that will protect customers and workers from weather conditions, as well as contain noise, dust and odors.
• A new site layout that will improve on-site traffic flow and add more on-site vehicle queuing space
• Two pre-load compactors to improve operational efficiency and decrease the number of transfer trailer truck trips required to and from the station
• Sustainable building design features that will improve energy efficiency and result in lower life cycle costs than conventional building design
• Environmental enhancements to the storm and waste water systems to protect public health

The division is seeking comments from cities and their residents who use the Bow Lake facility and from customers and local community groups about the planned improvements to the station. Please contact us with any questions, suggestions, or comments about this project.
