A lift-liner provides efficient transport of units of bulk cargo (e. g., radioactive hazardous material waste), and economical disposal of the lift-liner for storage of the waste therein. The cargo is also transported in the lift-liner, e.g. from a remediation site to a railroad siding. Cargo units are defined by the lift-liner, which may contain up to twelve tons of the waste. A high-load-capacity container of the lift-liner may have five straps connected to two first opposite walls, with four straps connected to two second opposite walls, and with a bottom between corners of the container. The straps may receive up to twelve tons of vertical lifting force from a lift grid having a connector vertically above and aligned with each strap. The straps assist in containing the waste, and apply vertical forces to the walls and to the bottom to lift the container. Embodiments of the lift-liner are provided for waste in the form of contaminated dirt, and for contaminated demolition materials. Methods include steps providing the lift-liner with the container and the straps, and for loading the gondola car efficiently with fewer than ten units (of twelve tons each), minimizing the number of unit loading operations needed to fill the gondola car. Flaps at the top of the container are provided with loops and webs to facilitate defining tucks as the flaps are pulled across the open top of the container, and for tying the flaps securely closed.
