The City of Springfield has begun its tours for residents interested in learning about the Noble Hill Landfill. 聽The city says the tours are educational, and shows people where their waste goes, and how much goes into running a landfill. Tour goers loaded up at the Environmental Resource Center and were bussed to the landfill.
Some tour goers raised concerns about the amount of trash being accumulated. 聽This year, the city announced that space created in 2019, space meant to last 100 years, is already half full, due to increase amount of trash.
鈥淭he thing that surprised me the most is that the trash will only last for 50 years, so we鈥檙e going to have to come up with another solution,鈥� Ashley Loeb said. 鈥淚 think when people throw away their trash, they just throw it away. They don鈥檛 think about it, but when you come on this tour, it opens up your eyes to like, 鈥榦h this is a big deal.鈥�
