Local News in Brief : L.A. Trash Ban Sought
Glendale officials Tuesday proposed a ban on the dumping of trash from Los Angeles at Scholl Canyon Landfill in order to lengthen the life of Glendale’s only dump.
Under an ordinance expected to be adopted by the Glendale City Council next week, both private and municipal waste haulers from Los Angeles would be prohibited from using the dump after Dec. 26. Private haulers from Burbank will also be forced to go elsewhere.
The amount of trash brought to Scholl has tripled in the past 10 years as landfills in Los Angeles and other cities have closed. Officials say that at the present rate of use, Scholl, a regional landfill that serves 50 cities and communities, will be full by the year 2001.
