I hope they prevail. I lived through the county having to relocate an existing land fill that reached its capacity.
But boy did communities rage, and demand not in my backyard. Ultimate found one waaaay out in the country. 30 years ago, but go to a local dumpster center any day and see the mass of one days trash, at one center, that battle may return some day, not so distantly,
“Not my backyard”was a big political message then.
Maybe again, Nationally for Natzeeeee camps of torcher. WWJD?
