Whiff's Waste Dump handles all of Sodor's waste rubbish and refuse.
History and Operations
Whiff's Waste Dump takes care of Sodor's rubbish, sorting and disposing the refuse, effectively and properly. It has many cranes and crushers and Sir Topham Hatt likes the place to look clean. According to former Railway Consultant Sam Wilkinson's map of Sodor, it is located on the Kirk Ronan Branch Line between Rolf's Castle and Kirk Ronan.
Both Whiff and Scruff live and work here. The two engines love their job and working at the dump, however some of the engines despise working here, particularly Gordon, who had to look after the Waste Dump for a day while Whiff was waiting for Scruff to be fixed at the Sodor Steamworks.[1]
When the turntable at Tidmouth Sheds froze one winter night, Percy had to sleep at the waste dump after Gordon took the only open berth.[2] Sidney once ended up at the waste dump while trying to remember his special job.[3] He and Paxton later revisited the dump while searching for clues about Sidney's flatbed of parts.[4]
