SB 71 - This act amends Missouri's solid waste law by adding a definition of the term "transfer station". Any site meeting this definition shall be subject to DNR permitting requirements for transfer stations.

A transfer station:

2) includes a site or facility where waste is transferred from a rail carrier, motor vehicle or water carrier to another carrier,

3) excludes a residential dumpster with a volume of less than ten cubic yards which receives only residential solid waste from more than one family unit, provided the container is emptied at least once per week, and

4) excludes a site that stores waste on a motor vehicle or in a detachable container for no more than twenty-fours hours, provided that the container is covered or enclosed and is stored on the same site as the vehicle that transported the container to the site.
