Transfer Station "Pit"

CAW Policy Associate Nick Lapis looking at the "Pit" at the Davis Street Transfer Station. After garbage collection vehicles dump their loads into this facility, a tractor drives over them to reduce their volume. Afterwards, this material will be loaded on to trucks that will deliver it to a landfill.

High-value recyclable materials are clearly visible in this "pit," but they will be buried at landfills.
