The building on the right is a new waste resource handling center in Copenhagen. At the same time, it is a skiing center as they built a slope on top of it. Who would have thought about Denmark for alpine skiing.

An aerial top-down perspective captures an informal waste worker manually sorting plastic PET bottles at an open-air recycling yard in Bakalia, Chattogram, Bangladesh. Surrounding the worker are vast heaps of plastic waste and large filled burlap sacks. In developing urban areas, informal recycling operations like this play a vital role in managing plastic pollution and contributing to a circular economy.
All around is just plastic and plastic. A huge pile of plastic bottles and garbage in thousands of colors—white, green, blue, red. This picture highlights a harsh reality of our modern life. Where does the amount of plastic we use and throw away every day end up? When we try to find the answer to this question, we find that some people are working, risking their lives, amidst such mountains of waste.

The object is to drive through sets of barrels that gradually get closer to within inches of the trucks width.

On the day before Winterail, a mixed set of power lays over at the Columbia Ridge waste terminal in Gilliam, Oregon. This site is the end of track on the Condon Industrial Lead, a remnant of Union Pacific's Condon Branch.
GMTX 3306 is a fine-looking, snoot-nosed "SD40-2" that's heading towards North Platte, NE on the UP Kansas Sub. This is at Menoken Jct., on a westbound manifest out of Kansas City. I believe that it has now been rebuilt as an SD38-2. From what I understand, the unit is bound for a Waste Management landfill near Arlington, OR, across the river from BNSF's Roosevelt Yard.
This unit began life as the UP 3415 in 1978, and after a stint in a truly awful-looking LTEX/PRLX patch job, it ended up in fresh GMTX blue and white. Now, it's resplendent in this new "Waste Management" scheme that's quite reminiscent of the old BN scheme.

Organics was still a relatively new idea in the Peninsula cities at the time, so WM had this truck done up to advertise their service. From what I was told, the program was a pretty big success, but was discontinued when GreenWaste took over.

And no, you may not have my banana!"
'Commingled' is the correct way to spell the term applied to collecting all material together for reprocessing, a waste industry expert has claimed.
