For three long years, the residents of Albuquerque, N.M., have been fighting against the city’s proposed waste transfer station, which would move all of the city’s waste into one neighborhood and save the city time and money by cutting down on trips to the Cerro Colorado Landfill, fuel, maintenance and emissions.
The next hearing about the proposed waste transfer station is scheduled tentatively for April.
