Newton County began its Landfill Improvement Project in January of 2019 and as of October is about 25 percent completed. The entire project is expected to take around three years and will result in Site 1 Municipal Solid Waste landfill being completely lined.
This voluntary project was begun by the Newton County Solid Waste Authority to be better stewards of our environment and moved to a lined landfill site from one that began prior to newer safeguards and technologies.
