Nation : INDIANA : IN BRIEF : Boxcars of Garbage Returned to Sender
- Share via
Five railroad cars full of rotting refuse were on their way back to Philadelphia after Indiana officials won a court order blocking a plan to dump the garbage in their state. The state Environmental Management Department said the four firms involved in carting the trash lacked a permit allowing garbage to be transferred from railroad cars to dump trucks. The cars headed back after the state obtained a restraining order against the dumping and threatened to fine the companies $25,000 for each day the garbage was parked at a rail yard.
