Waste Works lawsuit for dumb-dumbs: or a busy citizens guide to the local waste war
It appeared to be a trash match made in heaven...
In December 2008, as the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority, formed in 1990 to manage the disposal of Charlottesville and Albemarle trash, began seriously struggling financially to fulfill its duties and promote recycling in our area, dumpster king Peter Van der Linde opened an $11 million state-of-the-art Materials Recovery Facility [MRF] now capable of recycling both construction/demolition debris and household trash.
Problem solved, right? With the RSWA's expertise, and Van der Linde's new facility, surely we could create one of the greenest waste disposal and recycling models in the State.
If only that were so.
