Trash

Where does your trash go after you put it in the bin?

  • Once the bins are full, they are emptied into one of two trash compactors on campus.
  • Our trash is collected by Seattle Public Utilities and loaded onto a mile-long train. 
  • The train then travels over 300 miles to the Columbia Ridge landfill in Arlington, Oregon.
