Waste Management has come back with a new plan to transport waste by rail which does not require double trucking it through western Queens.  Waste Management will expand their site by purchasing a nearby parcel of land which can accommodate loading of the trains on site.  Private roads between the two sites will be utilized to prevent disrupting businesses that share the community driveway at the original site.  This eliminates the need for the trucks to haul the garbage to the Maspeth Railyard, which is in close proximity to homes.

Here are the details and here is a the Solid Waste Management Plan's fact sheet.

We thank our elected officials for their advocacy and Waste Management for their open mindedness and responsiveness.
