What does the Navy do with its trash while out at sea?
Answer: It dumps it into the ocean
Some of the garbage produced onboard, like paper, metal and food waste, is regularly dumped into the ocean by the U.S. Navy. Other waste is compressed, melted or shredded on board, and stored for disposal on shore. Trash from a ship’s mess decks can amount to 150 bags per day, creating a sizeable challenge for those charged with keeping the ship clean and safe.
