City plans landfill closure by end of summer
City officials say the sanitation landfill should be filled, covered, and seeded by August and possibly as early as June, with the new site west of Sunset Avenue and Brasher Road chosen for its lack of nearby homes. Neighbors report wind blown trash each spring since 1975, while some say property values have declined due to the dump’s presence.
