Baled trash

Doubt it. There must be some other reasoning behind wrapping trash when it's compacted and dropped into the tipper..... it must be a good reason if the transfer station is spending money to wrap something that is gonna be buried anyway.

Do you think the wrapped trash is being color coded because it may be dirty trash or something?

 

No, I don't haul trash out of NY, but I have been with dad while he hauled trash out of NY. I remember it dropping from the ceiling in big bales, straight into the dump trailer.

I have trash hauling experience here in PA.

 

You sure that's not trash that's going to be recycled? I hauled trash here in Chicago area and never noticed anything going to the landfill wrapped up?

 

Even recycled is just baled in wire. I haul it all around PA NJ NY. Never been wrapped in anything more than wire if it's recycling. And I do it in a van.

That's why I think it may be special trash needing to be color coded for the landfill to know what's coming in.

 

I get behind those flatbeds hauling that stuff sometimes. I've never seen any juice running off of it, but sometimes it has that characteristic aroma...

 

I've hauled recycled paper like your talking about in a Van also. I'm thinking possibly plastic bottles and such maybe?

I don't know why the landfill would need to know what's coming in? It all goes together at least at the landfills I've been to

 

It does go altogether in a sense, but on the face they have certain areas where you dump say general trash truck trash here, tires dumped here, paint dumped here, dirty dirt dumped here and so on till you covered whatever goes into the fill.

Occasionally you get a frameless come in and he has "special" trash and he dumps away from everyone else. I've been to some big landfills in PA, they aren't doing anything shady as far as I can tell. But just being at the same fill 3-4 times a day you see some stuff and your like wtf? How is that even legal to dump here.

Like a 53 foot tipper full of tires.....

 

They look like this?
