My dad worked superfund sites. They would scrape the top few feet of dirt of toxic waste sites, load it on a train and take it to Bama to burn it in an incinerator. They literally burn toxic dirt in Alabama.

They've been doing this for years. I remember trash barges that got stuck places like this. NYC 'exports' around 25,000 tons of garbage EVERY DAY.

I've seen a lot of trashy places in my life but Walker County is the leader in the clubhouse so far.

I’m a fan of neither but Bama has some beaches.
Know your role.

Mississippi would rather be poor than take it. Looks like Alabama has sold it’s soul. Just wonder how many tons they’ve already accepted in the past.

What does filling a landfill with this much shite do to the ground water? Can’t be good at all. But hey in like 5 million years there gonna be some badass fossil fuel in all these toxic landfills

How do you fill a rail container full of sewer Tx waste? Is it bagged up?
Seems like the container would be ruined forever.

Why exactly is poop on a train?
It’s not poop. Article is misleading. Waste treatment plants use biological treatment (“activated sludge”) systems to remove harmful components from wastewater before it is discharged. These waste treatment plants have to remove a certain amount of biomass (the sludge) from the system continuously to account for the constant biological growth. The “wasted” sludge is then concentrated and de-watered to reduce volume before being shipped off for disposal.
Since the sludge consists of organisms that consume organic carbon and other waste byproducts, its final destination is typically a landfill. The addition of this “wasted” sludge speeds up biodegradation in the landfill. It’s actually a pretty interesting (although kinda gross) example of the free market helping the environment.
Long story short, whoever wrote the article either has no clue what they are talking about or is being purposefully misleading. The sludge is no more “human waste” than plants grown using manure as fertilizer. Anyhow, that’s why/how it winds up on train in Alabama headed to a landfill.
That being said, I’m sure it doesn’t exactly smell great. Think of a 10 million pound compost bin.
