South Carolina’s Lee County landfill tops national trash flow
Environmentalists say private operators exploit a legal loophole to ship out-of-state waste into South Carolina. Lee County landfill, licensed for 1.27 million tons yearly, receives waste from New Jersey Massachusetts and possibly New York City via transfer stations. State officials note the shift subsidizes other states while Clemson researchers cite clear financial incentives for such large-scale disposal.
