8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Pacific Time

SWANA's Transfer Station Management (US Version) course examines the core components of transfer stations — planning, design, operations, and management — and trains you to make sound, justifiable decisions even during challenging times.

SWANA offers this course as a stand-alone learning experience that can also be used to supplement the learning and experience needed to prepare for certification in this discipline. Please note that passing a certification exam requires amassing knowledge, skills, and abilities over time from a variety of sources; no one course provides all of the knowledge needed to pass a certification exam. Knowledge is typically gained over time from years of experience in the field; online courses, webinars, and podcasts; in-person seminars, events, and workshops; and on-the-job training.


OBJECTIVES: As a result of this course, you will be able to:

  • Discuss the steps, factors, local requirements in site selection, and development, and conceptual design

  • Minimize risk to personnel
