As out of state solid waste-filled trucks continue making their 24/7 way into Maine, raising onward a mighty mound to the skies, the incoming legislative session brings back LD 1639 An Act To Protect the Health and Welfare of Maine Communities and Reduce Harmful Solid Waste

The bill could easily put an end to this disgraceful use of Maine as Permanent Dumpland of the Northeast. But will state legislative leaders stand up to the blandishments and threats of Big Waste?

Below, read what the people told the Maine legislature back in May 2021, when the Environment and Natural Resources Committee last considered the bill . LD 1639- related online documents. **  Audio MP3s from the 5/17/21 hearing
