Same thing happened with the local landfill we used to use up north. Problem with that is that they now have to truck everything a long way to a different dump. Trash removal costs went way up, not to mention the increased carbon footprint required to truck away the trash. On a more positive note, they are opening up a dog park on the old landfill/solar farm site.
