The city of Seattle just opened a new garbage transfer station near Gas Works Park, after the old one closed two years ago. Neighbors wanted it to reopen only if it came with community benefits - and that's what they got.
The new North Transfer Station is not your typical garbage dump. There's no smell outside. It's quiet outside the facility, too. From the sidewalk, it looks more like a community center.
Lee Raaen: "People are looking forward to it because you've got this nice walking area, you've got exercise areas, you've got the play field, the basketball court, and all this sort of thing."
Raaen is happy with the amenities, which includes exercise equipment around the building and a big orange art sculpture.
Some of what you see in here is the misting system. They're to control odor and dust and keeping it moving, not just letting it flow through the neighborhood like it used to in the old one."
Next, he headed to the heart of the complex, where people can drop off garbage, yard waste and furniture for a fee.
What Neuner really wants to show off, is how quiet it is once you walk back outside. It stays quiet, because the doors are closed at all times except to let cars in. And all the trash compacting happens below ground. |

"The doors to the new North Transfer Station stay clothes except to let vehicles in for drop off. Trash compacting happens below ground -- so there's little noise from the outside."
Funny how one little mistake torpedoes your shot at a college or a job yet we allow this crap to happen.
