Cumberland County, Virginia, stands on the edge of an environmental catastrophe. Only an hour west of Richmond, the historic town of Cumberland, is set to become the site of the proposed Green Ridge Disposal and Recycling Facility. This 1,200-acre mega-landfill plans to operate nearly 24/7, releasing harmful pollutants into the air, contaminating the community’s drinking water, and depreciating the surrounding residential land value more and more each day.
