Despite having decades left of landfill capacity, the regional authority wanted an incinerator. Now Bill Johnson, <a href=\"https:\/\/StopTheStaffordIncinerator.com\">StopTheStaffordIncinerator.com<\/a> activist, wants to unite the government, business and citizens to plan and implement recycling and enterprises expansion under a zero waste policy initiative. The county and city have decades of landfill capacity available; a key reason, why there was no need to rush into an incinerator-based solution. &#8220;Now, is the time to expand recycling and composting so that the landfill will serve households and businesses for generations to come&#8221;, said Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Ewall, director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energyjustice.net\/\">Red de Justicia Energ\u00e9tica<\/a>, has been the prime source of technical assistance observes that this is the second politically and fiscally conservative county in the Mid Atlantic region to reject garbage incineration as an acceptable solid waste management approach. Carroll County, MD paid $1 million this year to get out of a contract for garbage incineration. In June, Energy Justice Network helped citizens in Lorton, VA get their Fairfax County, VA to reject a 50 year expansion of a construction and demolition landfill due to close in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>ILSR
