• Minimizing risk and cost-efficiencies are two of the biggest benefits of shipping waste by rail.
• WIH Resource Group is uniquely positioned to help clients who need to properly dispose of contaminated soils or other wastes via rail.
• Using gondola rail cars from or near a hazardous or non hazardouswaste cleanup site streamlines the process minimizing the risk factor to the environment with direct transfer of the waste to the landfill for disposal in a dedicated industrial waste cell (DIWC).
  
• Rail is one of the safest methods of transportation.
• When you are shipping rail to rail, there is virtually no chance of cross-contamination.
• There are also economic advantages of shipping bulk material by rail that can translate into significant cost savings for the client.

Solutions That Work!
Working closely with the railroads, site clean-up projects are carefully coordinated to meet client deadlines.  

WIH Resource Group works with a wide range of both the
Class One Railroads and short line railroads for the transportation and logistics management, rail car leasing
companies for rail cars, and a host of large disposal companies with rail served sites that own and operate landfills that are either Subtitle C or D permitted.  

Partner landfills accept a variety of waste streams including non-hazardous oilfield waste (non DOW), non-hazardous Industrial solid waste, special waste, commercial waste, domestic and municipal solid waste and hazardous wastes (Subtitle C site only).

In addition, WIH Resource Group conducts feasibility studies for cleints interested in Wastebyrail programs that may be unsure as to whether shipping waste by rail is economically viable.

Bob Wallace, Principal & VP of Client Solutions for WIH Resource Group, has been interviewed numerous times over the past decade on the subject of WastebyRail.  Here is a quote from a Waste Age Magazine Article entitled "Getting On Track" when Mr. Wallace served as Director of Transportation and Logisitics for Waste Management (WM):

"AS MAJOR U.S. CITIES FACE the closure of key regional landfills in the next dozen years, they may begin a large-scale move to waste-by-rail, the shipment of municipal solid waste (MSW) in railroad cars to distant landfills. “After 2009, chances are, we'll see more opportunities for larger MSW waste trains,” says Bob Wallace, director of transportation and logistics for the western group of Houston-based Waste Management Inc. (WM).

The change — still years away — will test the foresight of public and private waste management organizations. So the wheels of the waste-by-rail revolution are already turning in a number of cities. Waste Management, for example, provides waste-by-rail service for Seattle; New York; Beaumont, Texas; Annapolis, Md., and other cities.

With its 1998 acquisition of Rabanco, Allied Waste Industries Inc. - now Republic Services, of Phoenix, Ariz., competes with Waste Management's waste-by-rail offerings. According to Allied's Web site, company-owned facilities have shipped more than 2.5 million tons of waste by rail since 1992."
