SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality voted to expand a landfill location on Springridge Road in Clinton, affecting homeowners and businesses. Residents have expressed concerns for over 20 years and voiced their opposition to the expansion, citing the negative impact on their daily lives. They feel their concerns are not being addressed as they can still smell the garbage every day and are disturbed by the sounds of dump trucks every morning. Some are pleading to protect and respect the land, highlighting the impact on the community and the need for alternative career options if they decide not to go to college.
