RIDGELAND, Miss. -- Neighbors are concerned about another landfill that could go up in Madison County.
It's set to go next to the Little Dixie Landfill on North County Line Road in Ridgeland. There's also another landfill on the road.
It was a packed house at Potter's House Worship and Fellowship Center in Jackson Thursday night.
The meeting was for neighbors to voice their concerns about the proposed landfill. Most said they worry about the affects it'll have on their health.
"These types of landfills can cause many, many health problems," said the Rev. Holiness Barnes Jr. "First, it has to do with our respiratory system, water intake. I'm deeply opposed for that reason."
"I don't think anybody wants a landfill next to their house, but this proposed landfill is going to be located between two other landfills and my clients understand that," said Bryant Clark, the attorney for North County Line Thomas Lane Community Association. "What else can be in between a landfill than another landfill?"
Barnes said the landfills in the area aren't kept up.
According to Clark, developers said the proposed landfill will have vegetation planted along the road so it won't be noticeable to drivers.
