Tazewell plans action to curb landfill dumping spike
Tazewell County supervisors will weigh an ordinance bumping fines for out-of-state and out-of-county dumping from 1000 to 2500 dollars and up to 12 months in jail. They may suspend the ordinance requiring commercial haulers to dispose of waste at the county landfill. County Administrator Eric Young says daily waste at the landfill has doubled, with some days reaching 500 tons. If June averages exceed 300 tons, DEQ fines loom.
