sorting facility
Package routing hub
A sorting facility is a location where items are organized and redirected according to destination or category.
The term appears most often in shipping and logistics: packages arrive at a sorting facility, get separated by region or delivery route, then move on.
Mail processing centers, warehouse distribution hubs, and recycling plants are all types of sorting facilities.
