Discussion

Elisabeth Moser Feb 6, 2008:
thanks for the reference (shed) to the dictionary, I learned something new.
Have a great evening,
Lis
Elisabeth Moser Feb 5, 2008:
shed would prob. be fine -- depends on the size -- I always envision something smaller than Halle?!
David Moore (X) Feb 5, 2008:
Perfectly happy, Rod
Rod Darby (X) (asker) Feb 5, 2008:
Elisabeth, David what do you think of "shed" for "Halle" - or am I a bit old-fashioned?

post-decomposition transfer station

I would re-write the sentence to avoid the repeat of the word station. Below you'll find a definition of transfer station.
May be you can also call it post-decomposition location?!

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "my final solution was: "The last stop is an open but roofed post-decomposition shed", taking David's suggestion to avoid using "station" twice and using "shed" which still appears for "Halle" in some dictionaries. a shed doesn't have to be as small as a Schuppen, Elisabeth."
2 hrs

(final) composting building/hall

I would certainly avoid using the word "station" myself, as I think this refers generally to a complete facility.
Note from asker:
yes, David, "station" not only not twice, but not at all, I think you are right, station would be the whole facility
