Northwest Transfer Station Collection Center — Attraction in Dallas

City of Dallas sanitation staff are always helpful. This can be a fast paced mind boggling experience. You back up to the edge of a pit along side commercial dump trucks and throw your trash in to a giant hydraulic compressor. It could be a sofa or loveseat followed by a dead rose bush with a partially eaten happy meal on top.
