A method for collecting, handling and disposing of trash from a collection site, such as a railroad station, to a disposal site, utilizes a receptacle which includes a housing permanently situated at the collection site. The housing receives a coverable container therein and trash is deposited through a self-closing door at the top of the housing and received within the container. The container is admitted into and withdrawn from the housing through an openable sidewall of the housing. Once filled, the container is extracted from the housing, covered and moved to a designated platform area. A train, designed for this purpose, arrives with empty containers, which are unloaded, and receives the full containers. The train moves to a transfer point wherein the containers are removed and emptied into a collection vehicle to be hauled to a disposal site.
