GLOBAL RECYCLING: Landfilling in the USA – less and less an acceptable Option

For the future, landfilling is no option. Not even if – as the new government pronounced – the budget of the Environment Protection Agency would be cut by 30 percent and possible funding reduced. In Billings in Montana by incident, the winds are blowing trash from the local dumpsite through the town. For the landfill in Niagara a suit for 2.4 billion US-Dollar is planned to stop harmful chemicals spreading into the neighbourhood. And the Environment Protection Agency has gathered more than 150 complaints against new storage sites or landfill extensions.
