Desert Dump
Proposals to dispose of trash by rail transportation to landfill sites in the Southern California desert make more sense than others previously mentioned, including local incineration, waste separation and recycling.
There is virtually an unlimited capacity in the desert for such disposal, and the fact of an ever increasing amount of trash, and the running out of local landfill sites make the adoption of this plan both imperative and inevitable.
Local officials would best serve the community by concentrating their efforts on this plan, instead of on impractical and unworkable alternatives.
