Garbage The citizens of Edmonds Street oppose the city councils proposal to convert the vacant land at the corner of Edmonds and Leigh streets to a city landfill because of the pollution, financial issues, health, safety, wildlife, and our precious community pride. First of all we need to address the issue of pollution. Pollution is causing us to lose the finer things in life. Air pollution will increase due to the trucks and machinery. Methane gas and carbon monoxide will be very toxic to our lungs. Who wants to walk outside to the smell of fumes in an otherwise nice neighborhood? Water pollution can also be a problem due to the garbage dump. The rain water will create runoff that will seep the hazardous materials into the very water we drink. This can create all types of health problems. The run off from the rain water will also destroy our nice green lawns which will create a whole new problem called land pollution. The hazardous materials will ruin the quality of our soil so that nothing will grow.
