MOSA Western Transfer Station operates as a key environmental facility managed under the Montgomery-Otsego-Schoharie Solid Waste Management Authority (MOSA), offering responsible waste handling and sustainability-focused services in upstate New York. Designed to serve the surrounding rural communities, the transfer station collects and consolidates municipal solid waste and recyclable materials before they are transported to larger processing or disposal facilities. This operation helps reduce transportation emissions, streamline waste logistics, and support community-wide environmental compliance.

A primary component of MOSA’s sustainability efforts, the Western Transfer Station plays a vital role in promoting recycling, safe waste disposal, and public education on waste reduction. The facility adheres to New York State environmental guidelines and collaborates with local municipalities to improve solid waste practices. Although no longer a regional authority, the legacy of MOSA continues to shape services provided by member counties. The transfer station emphasizes convenience, accessibility, and environmentally responsible waste management as part of its community-centered mission.
