Steubenville - Local people express their outrage over loads of out-of-state waste coming into their community.
Apex Landfill is now open on the border of Jefferson and Harrison Counties in Ohio. The landfill will now become the dumping ground for 1.8 million tons of garbage per year, with trash coming in from places like New York. [emphasis added].
The state will be receiving $3.50 for every ton of the non-hazardous waste that is shipped in. The 1200 acre facility is expected to remain open for dumping for the next 10 years.
