Tri-County Landfill

Tri-County Waste Plant is a plant in Toy Story 3 where Lotso and Andy's toys end up after the garbage truck dumps them, along with the rest of the garbage. At the plant, the Squeeze Toy Aliens notice a large crane in the distance, reciting one of their catchphrases, "the claw...," and run toward it, but are plowed away by a bulldozer. Meanwhile, the rest of the toys, are dumped onto a long conveyor belt of garbage. However, Slinky Dog, due to his coils being made of steel, is pulled onto the magnetic ceiling above. The toys try to look for a way to free Slinky, but upon seeing that the conveyor belt is heading toward a set of shredders, they grab onto something made of steel so they can hang from the ceiling, safe from the shredders. Just then, Lotso cries for help, and Woody comes to his rescue, with Buzz Lightyear assisting him. After passing over the shredders, the toys realize that the next place of the plant where the conveyor belt is leading them toward is the central incinerator. Lotso notices an emergency shutoff switch at the top of a ladder, and with help from Woody and Buzz, manages to reach it. However, rather than shutting off the belt, he shows off his evilness again and betrays them, taunting them by saying "Where's your owner now?" and walks away. Andy's toys are then dropped into a large chamber, where the shredded garbage is falling in an enormous bowl toward the central incinerator. The toys, realizing that they cannot escape the flames, hold hands as they accept their inevitable death. Just then, at the last moment, the crane grabs them, along with some of the shredded garbage. It turns out that the aliens has found their way to the operating chamber, where they have commandeered the crane to carry the toys away from the incinerator and to safety. After leaving the waste plant, the toys hitch a ride in a garbage truck to get back to Andy's house.
