Thanks, Melissa. This raises a question that needs an answer.
The landfill developers don’t own the land! They own 92 acres out of the proposed 400+ they claim they have and need to run their landfill. You can check Jackson County public records.

Whether you're on public lands or at your local park, remember to leave no trace. Critters can become entangled in litter, or even try and consume it and die. Stash your trash and help the wildlife.
