Garbage Museum

 * ... that the Garbage Museum was an operating recycling facility and featured a viewing area for the processing of recyclables from 20 local towns?
 * ALT1:... that the Garbage Museum was scrapped in 2011?
 * ALT2:... that the Garbage Museum was scrapped by the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority?
 * Reviewed: Not a self-nomination.
 * Comment: In the quirky alternatives, "scrapped" in the hook is synonymous for "voted to close the museum immediately" in the article.

 * Given the situation with the hopeful re-opening I must advise against the alliterative "scrap" because it still exists. The word choice instead suggests destruction, dismantling or other permanent removal which is not the case. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:45, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Nom'd within 7 days of GAN, looks fine. Regarding the hook, using the term "scrapped" would be fine, but as it's not destroyed/demolished, I'd prefer the original hook.  NFL  is  Awesome   18:19, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
