Comments on: Escambia Shuts Down Rolling Hills Landfill http://www.northescambia.com/2015/05/escambia-shuts-down-rolling-hills-landfill Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:38:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: FaithinUS http://www.northescambia.com/2015/05/escambia-shuts-down-rolling-hills-landfill/comment-page-1#comment-299017 FaithinUS Mon, 18 May 2015 18:47:45 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=216255#comment-299017 If people learned to Reduce, ReUSE and Recycle waste in all its forms, there wouldn't be as much need for landfills in the first place. It's pretty surprising that people who live 'in the country' don't think more of the environment and do more to protect it: Reusable Shopping Bags-- they're not just for tree-huggers Bottled Water-- the most ridiculous way ever thought of to spend $1 or more ...and contribute to mounds of garbage in landfills. Downed trees cut into firewood, or run thru a chipper to make mulch to help your plants survive with less water, will keep that out of the landfill. And don't forget - "One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure"! If people learned to Reduce, ReUSE and Recycle waste in all its forms, there wouldn’t be as much need for landfills in the first place.
It’s pretty surprising that people who live ‘in the country’ don’t think more of the environment and do more to protect it:

Reusable Shopping Bags– they’re not just for tree-huggers
Bottled Water– the most ridiculous way ever thought of to spend $1 or more
…and contribute to mounds of garbage in landfills.
Downed trees cut into firewood, or run thru a chipper to make mulch to help your plants survive with less water, will keep that out of the landfill.

And don’t forget – “One Man’s Trash Is Another Man’s Treasure”!

I'd love a business where I could shut down the competition, and charge what I wanted to. Now if they can keep carriers from crossing the county or state line, they will have the market cornered.

But we need them!!! We now have only one open landfill, if a hurricane hits our area we are going to be big trouble... Go to the county landfill now and wait in line to dump..... Saturday long lines.... So all this debris the storm cause will be setting on our properties vacant lots for months and months... Storm debris will be at a stand still!!! Trash on the side of the road will be there for weeks because no place to dump... Get ready for rats at the curb site!!! No one wants a landfill by them… But we need them!!!
