Dive Summary:

• The city council of New Haven, Michigan, is considering entering into an agreement with Rizzo Services to construct a Type II landfill.
• The town is in debt, resulting in the proposed landfill partnership, which may result in New Haven receiving a $750,000 advance and a share of $1 per ton of waste for the life of the landfill.
• Rizzo Services owns the proposed landfill site.

From the article:

Rizzo proposed a Host Community Agreement to New Haven in part because it provides waste and recycling services in the village. With this agreement New Haven will maintain access and inspection rights with respect to operations.

The plan must be approved at the county and state levels and could take a few years before a landfill is built.
