When two freight trains collided and derailed last week in McPherson County, the Barton County Landfill was ready to accept whatever the cleanup crew brought, Solid Waste Manager Phil Hathcock said.“We got 55 gallon drums of honey,” he said. “It was a sticky situation.”People don’t usually give much thought to what happens to their trash, so they probably don’t realize what goes on at the Barton County Landfill.“It’s a highly regulated and scientific place,” the new landfill manager said Wednesday, speaking at a Great Bend Noon Kiwanis meeting.Back in the day, trash went to a “dump,” where it was exposed to the elements. Rainwater would percolate through the waste, gathering contaminants before it seeped into the ground.
