Hauling Trash, Lots of Trash

Metro has issued a draft RFP for transport of the region's waste to Arlington (see press release).

I haven't read the whole RFP document (PDF, 3.5M), but it's pretty clear that rail and barge options are under consideration.

Readers may recall that this was a promise by Metro President David Bragdon.

This is an excellent chance to get our garbage off I-84 and on to rail or barge where it should be.
