landfill

Educators from across the state packed the statehouse Thursday demanding legislators prioritize public education. The estate of a man who died in 2021 while in custody of the Jackson County Jail has filed a lawsuit.

The Heritage Environmental landfill in Roachdale largely complies with regulations. But some of its hazardous waste sits in an unlined unit above a town's drinking water.

Despite assurances from officials that the site owned by waste management company Heritage Environmental is equipped to handle the waste, residents say they’re worried.
