Big sky environmental wanted to haul all that garbage to less crowded areas and turn it into compost. But apparently, the plan lacked the approval of local officials, who turned the barge away.

1. Big Sky Environmental : Long
Island Garbage

2. Big Sky Environmental has grown to become Alabama’s
premier solid waste facility. The company opened for
operations on September 1, 2015, and is permitted to take in up
to 25,000 tons of solid waste each day.

3. That sounds like a lot, and it is. But to put it into context,
consider that the average American throws out about four and a
half pounds of stuff each and every day. Environmental experts
who track such things say that all the trash Americans throw
away in the course of one year would fill a hole as long and wide
as a football field, and one hundred miles deep.

4. What to do with all that garbage? Even though thirty years have
passed, there may be no better illustration of the garbage question
than the infamous Long Island Garbage barge. Loaded with more
than three thousand tons of Long Island garbage. The fate of all
that garbage had to do with an Alabama man named Lowell
Harrelson, who has no association at all with Big Sky
Environmental.

5. Big Sky Environmental wanted to haul all that garbage to less
crowded areas and turn it into compost. But apparently, the
plan lacked the approval of local officials, who turned the barge
away. In the months ahead, it traveled to Cuba, Mexico, Belize,
and Louisiana, but no one wanted it. After months, the barge
returned to Long Island, where it began, and wound in the
landfill it would have gone to if not for the compost idea.
