For over a decade the City of Albany and Mayor Jennings has mismanaged the Rapp Road landfill. The City's decisions concerning the landfill has been short sighted and has caused great concern for the citizens of our city. The State DEC is now poised to sign the permit for a project that will expand the landfill by 15 acres and extend the dump's life by a proposed 7 years. This action must be stopped! The environmental and logistical impacts are great, and the rewards are minimal. It's time for the the Mayor and the City of Albany to make some tough decisions and look for alternative solutions to this issue. Please sign this petition to stop the expansion of the Rapp Road landfill, and to call on Mayor Jennings and our local city officials to make better long-sighted solutions.

I was looking at the map again and honestly how do they expect fifteen extra acres to not ruin everything for the people living right there on the other side of the fence. It feels like they just keep kicking the can down the road while ignoring the smell and the trucks and the reality that we deserve better than a massive pile of trash looming over our backyards.

Seeing this much energy behind the fight against the Rapp Road expansion is honestly wild because I remember just sitting at my kitchen table wondering if anyone else even noticed the trucks. It feels like the city might finally have to stop ignoring us now that we have this kind of momentum building up behind the screen.
