King County, Wash., officials are considering expanding the Cedar Hills Regional landfill to accommodate tons of trash from more than 1.5 million people in the county. However, neighbors of the landfill are fighting the proposed expansion.
Some King County leaders want to extend the landfill’s operation for another 20 years and use the area known as cell 9 as a trash site, according to a Q13 Fox News report. Right now, cell 9 consists of parking spaces and trailers, and it would allow an extra 25 acres to be used to stockpile garbage.
