The Franklin County Construction and Demolition Landfill has been a licensed landfill since 1976. It’s one of the few of its kind in the area. As you would imagine, it sees a lot of traffic, but particularly the past few year, and they’re running out of room. Franklin County Public Works Director, David Lee, says material being brought in has nearly quadrupled:
Instead of expanding outward, Lee says the plan is to expand upward. Much of the landfill is below ground level. A recent study suggested that if compacted tighter, it could go quite a bit higher and be in used for several more decades.
