Landfill pollution isn’t just an American problem
January 4th, 2008 by Todd HagemanAmericans aren’t the only ones outraged over landfill pollution and the empty promises of landfill owners. According to a recent article in the Wakefield Express, residents living near the Welbeck landfill site in Wakefield, England are upset because uncontrolled and harmful gas has escaped from the landfill four times over the last 12 months.
The release of the gas violates the landfill’s site permit. And the plan to install a generator designed to recycle the gas into electricity appears stalled.
British resident Barney Brennan observed:
“[I]f my car emitted uncontrolled, illegal burned gas into the air, or if I smoked in a public building, I would be prosecuted. What is the difference between Joe Public and a multi-million pound company?”
I do not represent anyone involved with this site. However, I represent hundreds of similarly situated people in environmental litigation cases in the United States.
