Many of those trucks heading into PA are going to another transfer station for the garbage to be sorted out more, then load up and head back to NY to be burnt by waste to energy power plants. NY pays NJ to take the garbage, NJ makes a small profit from this and pays PA to take it, PA makes a small profit and sends the unrecyclable, burnable garbage back to NY to be burnt and turned into energy and sold to ConEdison, Central Hudson and other power companies...I worked for a time in a waste to energy power plant in Peekskill, NY, there was another in the Bronx and another in Poughkeepsie, NY.
I'm also a northern NJ native, born and raised in Passaic County in what was once a small borough(Haledon) outside Paterson(GSP exit 154). I now live in north eastern PA on the NY/NJ border, I got here via a slight 12 year stopover in Orange County, NY...I still have family in NJ.
It always offended me when people who have not traveled the state of NJ other than the NJ Turnpike or the GSP put down the "Garden State", it just showed their ignorance. Sussex County, NJ just three miles down the road from me is full of farm fields and forests, Warren and Hunterdon Counties are full of small towns with old farms, South Jersey with the beaches and boardwalks...Aaahhh Point Pleasent, Seaside, Wildwood, the beautiful houses of Cape May, then there is Stone Harbor were my family and I stayed ever summer when I was a young boy, Margate and Lucy the elephant and Ventnor City, just south of Atlantic City where I lived shortly in the 1970s, unfortunately my dad could not find any work(pre casinos)....Otherwise I might have been a NJ beach bum!!!
Anyway joke or not, lets not perpetuate the stereotype of my home state...I like both the green and yellow decals
