John Sakmar, General Manager of the Middle Point Landfill in Walter Hill, told WGNS that a new website was recently established to keep residents up to date on operations at the landfill.

An email to WGNS stated, The website, www.middlepointlandfill.com, offers comprehensive information about the landfill, including hours of operation, types of materials accepted, site safety, sustainability, community engagement, and answers to frequently asked questions.

According to Rutherford County Mayor Ernest Burgess, the landfill is expected to close no later than 2028 or sooner, depending on population growth in the county. Once the landfill closes, Rutherford County will have to pay to ship its trash to other landfills.
