Not all municipalities have a controlled tip nearby for treating waste. Some of them are located at a considerable distance from these facilities and the cost of transporting rubbish to these is expensive.
In order to resolve this problem, Transfer Plants are being built. These collect rubbish in order to press it and take it to controlled tip in vehicles with large capacity boxes, thus reducing transport costs.
Garbiker currently manages the Transfer Plants in Durango, Gernika, Zalla and Berriatua. The rubbish taken to these plants is dumped, later, in the controlled tip or in Zabalgarbi.
