Controversy hit Shawnee County during Monday’s commission meeting, leaving people upset about a potential increase in the height of a landfill in the northern part of the county. The Rolling Meadows Landfill, owned by Waste Management, currently houses a hill of waste that has a maximum height set at 1,164 feet. Now, they want to split the hill into two and increase the height to 1,190 feet. “This is simply a plan that is meant to preserve space,” said Michael Hey, area manager of disposal for Waste Management. “The space is precious to us, it should be precious to the county.”
