Snohomish County solid waste facilities may have to close temporarily due to excess garbage
Garbage is piling up at Snohomish County solid waste facilities due to challenges transporting it to regional waste centers via railway.
The mounting garbage is prompting health, safety and environmental concerns for customers and staff, according to the county.
Waste facilities are experiencing trouble finding enough freight containers to transport garbage to regional waste facilities. The issue is also impacting other solid waste facilities throughout the Puget Sound area and into western Canada.
If the county continues to experience challenges transporting the waste in the coming weeks, some solid waste facilities may have to close temporarily until the excess refuse can be dealt with.
