Larry,
What about a general recycling facility like Atlantic Coast Fibers http://atlanticcoastfibers.com/. They recycle a plethora of materials including recycled paper in bundles, plastics, construction debris, and cardboard. You could also run a scrap yard that also loads various recyclables such as glass, wood, fiberglass in all of its forms, metals, liuid waste (oil, chemicals, and/or sewage) and the previously listed Atlantic Coast Fibers loadings. I would have a front end loader and/or a conveyer to load cars.

I was toying with the idea of a sewage treatment plant and a recycling/city dump/salvage yard as an industry. This could be a different industry.

Absolutely! That's a good'un! You could use High Side Gondolas for loads.
Like this.

The unusual rail served industries is plentiful if one cares to look outside the box.

I forgot about the high sided gondolas!

The Quincy Bay Terminal/Fore River Transportation and The New York Cross Harbor/New York New Jersey Railroad both serve(d) Sewage Treatment plants. A Sewage Treatment plant/Recycling Center could be an ISL all by itself.

The last thing the NY&GL RR did was loading gondola cars with old roof shingles , they also had a C & D transload but the economy killed it !!! & also one time I passed by there an watched them unload aluminum bales from dump trailers with a excavator with an orange peel grapple into high side gons , that was a few years ago!!! I actually base my small RR on the NY&GL RR & the NY & NJ RR
