Demolition along the Canal!

Picture and text from IMBY (great blog name, btw):

"The conversion of the Hamilton Avenue MTS is one of four proposed waste management facilities identified as part of NYC's Solid Waste Management Plan - NYC Department of Sanitation long term waste export program. All solid waste transfer and containerized activities will take place within the fully enclosed building.  The new facility is designed for the transfer of solid waste from collection vehicles into sealed and leak proof containers for export by barge and rail.  All solid waste transfer and containerization activities occur within a fully enclosed, negatively pressurized, air scrubbed, building.   The facility is authorized to operate 24 hours a day, Monday through Saturday; closed Sunday,  except for public emergency."

Lets hope that continued uses going forward make use of the working waterfront like this one.
