A transfer station for handling of wastes and recyclables uses a compactor (1) to place compacted blocks (2) of waste of recyclables into a specified shuttle container (3). The shuttle container is moved along a conveyor (14) to a storage area or an unloading device (5) where the compacted materials are put onto a trailer or other transportation means (6). Containers can be recalled from the storage area to receive additional compacted blocks of specified material as the additional compacted blocks arrive at the transfer station. When a full load is formed, the shuttle containers can be moved to the unloading device as trailers become available. The system allows the operations of receiving, compacting and shipping of waste and recyclable materials to occur independently.
