==Adequacy=Appropriateness=== Transfer stations are appropriate for dense, urban areas where there are no alternative discharge points for faecal sludge. Establishing multiple transfer stations may help to reduce the incidence of illegal sludge dumping and promote the emptying market. Transfer stations are especially adequate where small-scalesludge emptying takes place. In big cities, they can reduce the costs incurred by truck operators by decreasing transport distances and waiting times in traffic jams. Local service providers can discharge sludge at transfer stations during the day, while large trucks can empty the tanks and go to the treatment plant at night when traffic is light.
Transfer Stations stations should be located where they are especially appropriate for denseeasily accessible, convenient, urban areas where there is no alternative discharge point (eand easy to use.g. faecal sludge thickening pond). Multiple Transfer Stations in Depending on their maintenance, odours could become a city may help problem to reduce local residents. However, the incidence of benefits gained fromthem compared to open-air illegal sewage dumping. The quality and quantity of the faecal sludge will significantly affect the treatment technology that is subsequently requiredgreatly offset any nuisances.
===Health Aspects/Acceptance=== Transfer stations are adequate when there are many locations where have the potential to significantly increase the health of a community by providing an inexpensive, local solution for faecal sludge disposal. By providing a transfer station, independent or small-scale service providers are no longer forced to illegally dump sludge emptying , and homeowners are more motivated to empty their pits. When pits are regularly emptied and illegal dumping is practiced. The construction minimized, the overall health of a Transfer Station may also stimulate the independent-emptying market. The site for the Transfer Station should community can be easily accessible, conveniently located, and easy to usesignificantly improved. The underground holding tank location must be well constructed carefully chosen to prevent leaching maximize efficiency and/or surface water infiltration. Depending on the maintenance of the facility, minimize odours can be unappealing and problems to local nearby residents. However, the benefits gained compared to open-air dumping would likely offset the odour nuisance.
===Upgrading===
Transfer stations are relatively common in North America. There, they are equipped with digital data recording devices to track quantities, input types and origin, as well as collect data from the individuals who dump there. In this way, the facilitators can collect detailed information and more accurately plan and adapt to the changing loads.
