Recycling Picture of the Week: “Trash Train”

A faithful reader sends us this week’s picture:

The “Trash Train” made up of some 60-80 rail cars, takes up two railheads, and carries over 120 40-ft shipping containers as it hauls some 1,500 tons of solid waste daily from Pierce County to the landfill, over 200 miles away over the Cascade Mountains, and near the Columbia River.
