State lawmakers have approved a bill that allows landfills to continue to accept out-of-state bulky waste through 2027 — and the Conservation Law Foundation is urging Governor Janet Mills to veto it. Nora Bosworth with the Conservation Law Foundation, called the bill a huge setback. "And when you're talking about a landfill [Juniper Ridge Landfill in Old Town] that, based on law and policy, is meant for waste created in Maine, that's just very disheartening, because this is a landfill that has been poisoning communities for years," she said.
