Opinion: State response to Juniper Ridge landfill concerns falls short
PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • April 22, 2024
As longtime environmental organizers and activists, we hope this Earth Day will mark the beginning of improved outcomes at the Juniper Ridge Landfill. Current management operations by Casella Waste Systems are squandering Juniper Ridge’s disposal capacity and threatening public health and the environment. It’s time for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and Bureau of General Services to stop Casella from gaming the system. ~ Bill Lippincott and Ed Spencerare, Don’t Waste ME
