Gaston County, Texas, to Expand Landfill for $3.7M

In response to an increase in trash and recyclables, Gaston County, Texas, is constructing a new cell at its landfill, which will come at a price tag of approximately $3.7 million. The new cell will take up about 11 acres of the landfill property, spanning 313 acres total.

Triangle Grading and Paving of Burlington will be in charge of the project, which is slated to begin in November.
