We, the undersigned, request that the current landfill, owned by Advanced Disposal Services in Zion, Illinois, be closed immediately and any further expansion permanently stopped.

We feel that this facility is a health hazard to all residents in the region by spreading toxin / bacteria laden dust, dangerous gases, noxious odors, noise pollution, disease spreading pests, and potential ground water contamination due to toxic chemical leakage.

This facility lies within the basin of Lake Michigan and represents a major threat to this source of drinking water that serves millions. Residents, farms, farmers and their crops and livestock, dependent upon clean and safe drinking water, are at risk from the continued operation and expansion of this facility.
