Environmental Groups Fight Seneca Meadows Landfill Permit Extension

The landfill permit for Seneca Hills located in the Finger Lakes, NY, is set to expire in 2025.

Waste Connections, parent company of Seneca Meadows, have entered a request to extend operations at the landfill until 2040.

The law firm representing Seneca Meadows sent a cease-and-desist letter to environmental group Seneca Guardians who has spoken out in opposition of the landfill.
