Court upholds public vote on local landfills
The state Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously upheld a provision of the solid waste law allowing residents to vote on landfill siting. The ruling also said a Wetzel County landfill cannot collect more than 9,999 tons per month. Director Ed Hamrick called the decision important, affirming local authority to manage solid waste needs and landfill locations. The case arose from a petition by the Wetzel County Solid Waste Authority.
