Closure

After 52 years of operations and three extensions, the landfill has officially closed for trash delivery.

Some claim federal law regarding post-closure care provides no guidance on how states should assess for human or environmental health impacts.

After the closure of Detroit’s waste-to-energy facility, the city is dealing with residential pickup delays as more of the city’s waste is hauled to landfills.

The company faced operational obstacles at its Ontario County, N.Y., Landfill and challenges in its disposal line of business due to the expected closure of the Southbridge Landfill in Massachusetts in November 2018.

The project will help the town power municipal and school buildings and tap into three monetary streams: land lease payments, tax revenue and energy savings.

The associations recommend that states change the way they determine when closed MSW landfills are ready to end post-closure care.

The connection between the former landfill site and Lake Conestee Nature Park will lead to a series of one-way trails with observation points.
