New York City has been sending its poo down to Alabama since early 2017. Alabama has been receiving the untreated sewage from New York City and South Kearny, New Jersey. Much of New York City's around 1,200 tons of sewage produced each day is shipped out to the state.
The Big Sky Environmental landfill in Adamsville, Alabama received approval from the state in order to be the recipient of untreated sewage. This untreated waste is also known officially as biosolids. Alabama residents around Birmingham have not been receptive to the biosolids being shipped in the state.
Materials that make-up biosolids lead to a huge number of complaints from residents that don't like the smell of the train cars that were occupying the railways. This cargo would be transferred from the railcars to trucks which took the waste to the landfill.
Those trains carrying the waste were first kicked out of Jefferson County, where the waste was being transferred from the train to the trucks. Temporarily it was arranged that the waste would be moved to Parrish in Walker County, where locals also became enraged at the cargo found being moved by trains to the town.
Smells from biosolids became a significant issue in Parrish, Alabama. Parrish's mayor said that the smell was so bad that residents couldn't leave their homes because of the smell. Eventually, the town council had to ban biosolids from being transported around Parrish.
Last week, around 80 train cars were left on a rail yard in northern Birmingham. Residents around the area thoughts that there was a dead body that was responsible for the stench. Again, a mayor had to get involved by asking to get the rail cars cleared from the area to which the company agreed.

“On a serious note, why did Alabama accept this?”
Money! It’s a hit.
Don’t give me that do-goody-good bullshit.
Damn carpet baggers.
Add a POO TRAIN to the THOMAS the TRAIN collection: Choo Choo! Poo Poo!
Anyone here doubt when I say that in a full blown civil war the big cities would be the first to collapse and throw in the towel?
Hell Chitcagos goes right out in the lake and when they want to flush the sewers they reverse the river flow.
they were just illegally dumping it or were they paying Alabama to take it?
Send the crap to Albany, NY.
Let Albany turn it into bricks.
“Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga poo-choo?”
If the liberals get the Civil War they seem to be pushing for that would be one of the unintended consequences they would have to deal with.
No more shipping their crap to the states they make fun of.
The fact that they even have to do this highlights the artificiality of the mega cities.
Every day the things they need to survive have to be shipped in from the people and places they look down on.
And every day their poop, garbage and other refuse has to be shipped out to be dumped elsewhere.
In the event of a SHTF disaster they will be starving by the millions in a couple of days while wallowing in their own excrement and refuse.
New York needs to keep their shit. Us dumb rednecks to ban together and tell NYC to FO.
Hey New York, I hear Baltimore is looking for as much sewage as they can get. Think they turn it into drinking water in Baltimore.
The landfill and payments to receive money from it look like an easy way to generate an income without much real development in an area.
Or industrial scale versions of the machine Bill Gates developed to turn poo into drinkable water, clean ash and energy.
New York City literally Crapping on Alabama.
New... York... City...
Its fertilizer.
Why are they dumping it?
Its useful.

I’d love to have it.. after composting (it bakes itself .. no external heat source needed) it becomes a salable commodity.
“Flushing millions down the toilet? Sewage plant rebuild cost projection tripled to $275M”
New York has a problem.
They have no place to store their
s*it until their problem is fixed.
The cost to treat human feces is
quite expensive. Raw sewage can
be deadly.
The reason New York is shipping
their sh*t to other states is
their infrastructure is in
sorry shape. It’s going to cost
New York City taxpayers $275m
to fix their problem.
And the city doesn’t want to
triple their citizen’s sewer
bills.
They’re pawning their problem
off to other states at cheap
treatment rates.
Untreated sewage? I would think NYC could at least treat its sewage before sending the treated sludge for final disposal. If nothing else, that should be more economical, apart from NYC’s pay scales.
Wondering,....how much poo can they stuff into a real carpet bag??
