Wakefield officials hear Elixir Corp delegates Ray Krpan and Alfred Brieganti argue for using the former Plymouth open pit as a sanitary landfill. They claim long term revenue and public health benefit, with steps including state approvals, pit preparation, water management, fencing, and potential 30 year capacity. Council notes lease limits and contemplates a committee, bond, and ongoing steps, while other business covers utility rate cuts and bids on a 1967 police car.
