Guess they want toxic shit now too SMH Nice work Gretchen I just did some quick searching and reading and it appears there are others to blame not to mention we export various forms of waste to Canada. Then-Gov. John Engler's administration, via the Michigan Strategic Fund, used state taxes to underwrite at least $122 million in tax-free bonds to fund major landfill expansion in the state, Garfield said. "They allowed so many permits to be issued for new, unneeded landfills in Michigan, we still — in 2018 — have a dramatic oversupply of landfill space," he said. Gov.Snyder tried….. If Michigan took no further action to expand landfills, its existing facilities, at current solid waste volume rates, have about 25 years of remaining capacity statewide, according to the DEQ's most recent solid waste annual report. "It's very cheap to dispose of in Michigan," said Christina Miller, the DEQ's Solid Waste Planning, Reporting and Surcharge Coordinator. "We have quite a few years of capacity available here in the state. So it's a demand situation. We have space, so they are able to dispose of the waste cheaper here." That leads to low gate or tipping fees charged by the landfills — often no longer run by local companies or municipalities, but instead now by giant national and international corporations such as Houston-based Waste Management and Phoenix-based Republic Services. "The fees landfills charge to haulers are artificially low," Garfield said. "That makes us the magnet for trash all over the region." Then there's the state-charged cost of admission for that imported trash. Michigan's solid waste surcharge, at about 36 cents per ton, is the lowest in the Great Lakes region, Miller said. Gov. Rick Snyder proposed late last month significantly raising the fee to $4.75 per ton — what the State of Ohio charges — to help fund cleanups of state toxic waste sites.
