Proposed translations
(trash) transfer station
Try a Google image search of "transfer station" you'll see.
Garbage Collection Enclosure
I don't believe that I have seen anything like this in the US even though I was involved in a couple of solid waste management training program and visited quite a few facilities. That's a direct translation may not exist and we will have to come up with a descriptive translation, such as "garbage collection enclosure."
That being said, I think Frank's "transfer station" is close enough since the garbage collection enclosures serve as a solid waste transfer station, too. My two cents.
Garbage Collection Point
However, a similar but sounder facility with same functionality can be found here:

It's named "Garbage Collection Point"

Unlike a "pool" which is stationary, a dumpster can be hauled away, or a big truck can lift it up with mechanical arms and dump its contents into the truck.

有道dictionary has this for example:
At other times he drives a bulldozer in "the pit", where rubbish trucks dump San Francisco's household waste, to be loaded onto bigger trucks also headed for the landfill.
其他时候,他负责在被称为“深坑”的地方驾驶推土机。在这里,那些来自圣弗朗西斯科洲的家庭生活废品被运来了,又被更大的垃圾装载车运走,继续前往堆填区。
