Casella has been steadily losing landfill capacity in other parts of the Northeast; now they want to make sure they can continue taking advantage of Maine by sending out-of-state waste north to Maine because it benefits them and their huge market share, not the people of Maine. As residents who live in the shadow of the Juniper Ridge landfill, we organized because it doesn’t make sense that our state-owned landfill is receiving out-of-state waste and a private company profits from this pollution. It’s time for this practice to stop and it’s time for Casella to stop the scare tactics. ~ Bill Lippincott, Hampden and Ed Spencer, Old Town
