Allegany Landfill Project Toured In Maryland
A Maryland Health Department tour showcased the Allegany County Landfill near Frostburg as an economical reclamation of abandoned strip mines. Officials from Allegany Frederick Garrett and Washington counties attended to observe solid waste disposal and potential ties to Cunningham Falls State Park. The project, begun in 1966 as a state county federal joint venture, serves about 50,000 people with 270 tons daily, costing $1.50 per year per resident.
