However, from having lived in the oil refinery part of Houston (smack
between La Porte and Texas City) I can tell you that there is still work
to do - the sky still turns green and the stench can be pretty awful.


Nothing quite like coming into HOU from the NE, learning that they're
landing on 04 and being directed by ATV over "Stinky"-dena on a hot Houston
day with a lot of thermals...

Christ, what a stupid response. [...]
Get a friggin' clue!


hmmph.

Where are the garbage disposal sites around your town, in the inner

cities?

Actually, yes. And the same thing is probably true where you live too.

Here, the garbage is taken to a "transfer station", not a dump. The
difference is garbage in a dump stays there, and garbage in a transfer
station gets transferred elsewhere, in this case to a less affluent city
thirty miles further south. From there (IIRC) it is processed, and put
on a barge to go somewhere else.


Where is that "someplace else"? Do you know or are you just pulling
suppositions out of your ass?

I'm not sure exactly where "else" it
goes, but it probably ends up in a giant dump in the middle of a nearby
large city where it stays until another barge takes it out to the ocean.


Befoe shooting your mouth off, why don't you try finding out how is happens?

If it ever gets there.


Ignorance is bliss.

I'm not really all that inclined to respond to rude and vulgar posters
who can't spell.

It doesn't matter where that "someplace else" is - already the town
thirty miles south of us is less wealthy than this town, so makes my
point, which is that the wealthy towns tend to send their garbage to
less wealthy towns (who are more willing to take money in exchange for
allowing the wealthy to dump garbage on them).

I do know where it all ends up, and it's not the backyard of the
wealthy. I even know pretty much where =my= garbage ends up. But the
point it, it doesn't stay in my garage.
