PROPOSED LANDFILL SITE WILL AFFECT YOU!

There will be a meeting about the proposed Forrest School Road Landfill site on Thursday, May 29 at 6:00 pm at the Wenasoga Fire Department.

Community members plan to discuss how the proposed site will negatively impact everyone in Alcorn County due to the distance, road conditions, and cost involved.

Many people in Alcorn County will have to drive over 20 miles one way to reach this site. With today’s gas prices, this will force people to find alternate locations to dispose of their garbage, increasing the amount of illegal dumping – possibly in your neighborhood.
Those that do choose to haul their garbage to the site will drive over roads that were not designed for heavy garbage trucks or the estimated 9,000 additional vehicles making trips into the site. It will impact you!

Community input from everyone in Alcorn County is needed to discuss options and alternatives to placing it in this site.

For more information, call 287-4504 or 643-9678.

Additional information is also available at the Tupelo Daily Journal.
