The Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners is the most important approval GFL needs to allow a NEW LANDFILL. GFL is actively lobbying Board members by inviting them to tour the landfill and painting a rosy picture of its operations.

The Board of Commissioners needs to hear both sides of the story. Letters or emails to the Commissioners only take a few minutes. The Board of Commissioners meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays every month. Public comments (limited to 3 minutes) are allowed for in-person or online attendees. The commissioners respond to many of the commenters. In-person comments are most effective. Please speak up.

The video below is a comment at a recent Board of Commissioners meeting. At the end of the comment period, 4 Commissioners gave their opinion of the NEW LANDFILL. Two were opposed, and two supported the NEW LANDFILL. They need to hear from the impacted public.
