Citizens For Marlboro County was organized in
2004 by a small group of citizens concerned about the future of
Marlboro County. What started out as a small group has now
turned into an enormous gathering of all races to try to change the
"bleak face" of Marlboro.
One of our recent accomplishments was to join
Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League (BREDL) to fight against a
proposed MEGADUMP in Marlboro County. Landfills and MEGADUMPS
are potential health hazards which destroy our land and fresh water
supply. Once our land and water are contaminated, they are
contaminated FOREVER!
Join the Citizens For Marlboro County that took the time to educate themselves on these dangerous health hazards. HELP US IMPROVE MARLBORO COUNTY! |

The Lee County (Bishopville) landfill is approximately 250 acres. MRR is trying to permit a 900+ acre landfill... yes 900+ acres on a 4700 acre tract... plenty of room for future expansion. This would be the largest landfill in the United States. They would import trash into Marlboro County from all over the East coast; from Maine to Florida and areas to the west.Marlboro County produces a total of 13K tons of waste per year.. if this landfill is permitted, it would import 13k tons of waste in only 3-4 days. It would import in 3-4 days what it takes Marlboro County a year to produce! Do you want the entire east coast to be dumping their trash on Marlboro County?
