The Wayne County Solid Waste Planning Division and Facility Inclusion Committee had recently approved a report outlining several steps that Riverview ought to take before approving the new plan. The major concerns are with regards to relocating the landfill’s main entrance off King Road, maintaining minimum isolation distance from off-site water bodies and providing a commitment to either ensure curbside recycling or set up a second recycling drop-off center in the city.

Meantime, the city of Trenton and Brownstown Township’s Board of Trustees have separately voiced their objection to the proposal that would expand the existing Riverview landfill site.
