Handling Pullman's Trash
Roland Huie | Visual Communication Photojournalism Essay
Pullman Disposal Service (PDS) collects and transports Pullman’s waste to be processed. PDS handles trash, recyclables, e-waste, medical waste and document shredding. Most citizens do not know what happens to their trash and unconsciously dispose unwanted items. This collection of images visually explains how trash is collected and how trash is packaged and transported out of Pullman to regional landfills daily.
Trash production will always be an issue and citizens need to be aware of what is and isn’t being thrown away, said Sean DeWald, PDS disposal professional. Many items in the trash can be recycled and reused or donated.
