The old puncheon road, the contoured slopes at the Concentrator site, the railroad switchback, the "Then and Now Rock" you see in many photos - those are historical artifacts that are not "trash," and that care is being taken to preserve.
I enjoy mining debris such as that huge pulley above Glacier Basin and the turntable at the town site. to me, those are not "trash," but a part of history.
Many of the trashed houses at the townsite I don't care for; some aren't that old, and are owned by people who don't even live in Washington. Peer into them and yeah, they're full of garbage - moldy mattresses and ugly vinyl kitchen chairs, etc.

The wood from the buildings at some of the site will be removed; the concentrator remains will be removed from the site, and older wooden remains in that area; storage bunkers, etc.
The Monte Cristo Preservation Assn are working with CECLA professionals to ensure saving what can be reasonably saved.
