Group trying to stop Rumpke landfill expansion

When Donna Engel bought her home on Bond Road in October 2019, she knew about the nearby landfill but was told nothing extreme would happen at the site. Just over a year later she joins her neighbors and other nearby residents in an effort to stop a future expansion of the Bond Road Landfill.
