We the undersigned residents and taxpayers of DeKalb County Illinois urge the elected members of the DeKalb County Board to reject the siting application of Waste Management of Illinois to expand the county landfill near Cortland. We do not believe the applicant has met the burden of proof standards set in the application process. We do not believe the location is safe. We do not believe the increased truck traffic if properly accounted for. We do not believe the proposal is in the best interest of DeKalb County Illinois. We urge our elected representatives to vote NO to the proposed landfill expansion.
Reaching this milestone feels like a heavy weight shifting slightly. I am exhausted by the constant grind of this fight but seeing this level of momentum proves we are not alone. We have a long road ahead and I am staying until the end.

One hundred people have signed on to stop this expansion. The road ahead looks long and the work is exhausting but seeing these names makes me feel a little less alone in this fight.

The feedback from the board is exhausting but we are nearing one hundred signatures. Please send this link to a few neighbors who are still unaware of what is coming to our backyard.

Greedy waste companies trying to ruin our town for a quick buck. Board members need to grow a spine and kill this project.

The traffic down 38 is already a nightmare. We dont need hundreds of garbage trucks everyday making it impossible to get to work.

Ridiculous idea. We have kids playing outside in this area and the smell alone would be unbearable. Not in my backyard.
