Nobody wants this in our community! Why is this being allowed! Expansion of landfills must follow the same requirements as new landfills!

The current landfill is only 8 hectares and has been dormant for over 30 years. Their application would like to expand to 25 hectares and receive tonnes of waste daily. Waste is waste, and there ARE toxic elements to all the waste they have applied to receive. Read more

I am deeply concerned about this proposed landfill being put near the town of Dresden. Although we’ve been told that since it’s not organic waste, it won’t “smell”, that is only one concern of many. Read more

I am opposed of the York1 expansion in Dresden Ontario. We are a small town with 2 schools, one elementary and one highschool both on the same road. We only have 1 street light in our town which is also on the same road. Read more

The thought of placing this dump so close to town in an absolute disgrace. Not only does it reduce the value of the land and the entire town it also prevent any chance of the town expanding in this direction. Read more

I’m 100% against the proposal from York 1 Environmental Waste Solutions Ltd. I’ve lived in the beautiful town of Dresden for over 30 years. I’ve travelled the roads into and out of the town daily and they are not equipped to carry hundreds of additional transports daily. Read more

I’m totally against the dump outside of Dresden. It’s a small quiet town and residents take pride in ownership. Read more

Please consider the traffic implications of this expansion, and the impacts of having the massive increase of transports driving down the only main road in Dresden, passing by both a elementary school with a population of over 40o children, but also a secondary school with over 500 students.

Explain how this dormant landfill that hasn’t been operational in more than 30 years is not registered on the landfill registry. There is no indication that this landfill is even operational at this time, so how can york1 reopen it when it has no registration. How is this environmental safe? Read more

Citizens of Dresden, Ontario are not pleased with this dump being so close to the town. York1 says it is safe. I don't believe that for a minute. I did attend the meeting they had today in Dresden. Read more

6000 tonnes of “material” that’s 40 tonnes a truck that’s 150 trucks coming and 150 trucks going daily and 24/7 at that. Come on and give your head a shake. Okay so what if this was already a “landfill” it has not been used in decades. Read more

Please do not go forward with this proposal. I am a senior widow who relies on the equity in my home to survive. I do not pretend to know all the environmental issues so I won’t even comment on that. Read more

The back of our property faces the purposed site. We are already disturbed by rumble strips on Croton Line. The amount of truck traffic will increase. We learned today that York1 wishes to make this a 24-7.operation. which means big truck noise, dust, and smell. Light pollution. Read more
