Bay Area landfills either closing or expanding

Waste cells in the Bay Area of California seem to have only two options left: close or expand. The Mecham Road Landfill in Sonoma County, for example, has been an issue of contention as trash must now be hauled 60 miles away since the site’s expansion has been blocked for the last four years. Other key burial sites have been put on hold while a handful of sites have expanded considerably to accommodate all the waste being blocked from closer landfill sites.
