If your municipality was given this right and a private sector operator
proposed developing a new landfill site in your community, what, if any,
would the most important terms or conditions be for you?
LIKELY TO APPROVE
More than four in ten say that they are likely or somewhat likely to approve a
landfill site, if their conditions were met.
