Back in the day...everything went over the side when 50 miles out to sea...AIGs would follow us and pick at anything that floated.
Overall a smellly rank job working trash detail...should be on Dirtiest Jobs show.
I was wondering what they do "now=a=days" so thanks for the information but I can assure you way back when, the "Igor room" was the best skate job I ever had as a lowly airman. Igor being the massive garbage disposal in a large stainless bathtub apparatus got fed by the messcooks dumping 55 gallon shitcan loads of slop from the scullery. Should a 55 gallon of slop be spilled, yes it would qualify for "Dirty Jobs show". Igor room skates (two of us) sole duty was to give him an occasional mouthwash of pine oil and wash him down. Once caught sleeping, myself and fellow skate got demoted to the scullery. Igor was a badass, he could digest spoons, forks and knives without a belch.

Funny you say it goes on a barge, I wonder if the locals take it a short way offshore and dump it themselves. Wouldn't surprise me.
