Mr. Gilkey pointed out that one of the options under consideration is the removal of the dumpsters presently located at various places throughout the county. If residents hauled their own trash to the dump site, there would be no large refuse trucks involved in the operation. “To save money it would make sense for citizens to haul their own garbage,” he maintained.
Mr. McCarthy added that the question of access to the site has not been worked out. Home pickup, dumpsters or residents hauling their own trash to the site are all options, he said. “It’s an open question at this point.”

• Effect of burning trash en air quality and visibility.
• Whether the landfill will be visible from roads, and its effect on the area’s scenic beauty, including views from overlooks in Shenandoah National Park.
