The county has been asked to study whether it can send more solid waste a Logan County site it contracts with, thus lessening its impact on contributing to Stony Hollow Landfill's odors, which have drawn complaints mainly from Moraine, but also from Jefferson Twp., Kettering, Miami Twp., Oakwood and West Carrollton.

The county was scheduled today provide to an advisory panel information about the possibility of increasing its trash haul to the Cherokee Run Landfill in Bellefontaine.

But the meeting with the county’s Solid Waste Advisory Committee has been indefinitely postponed “because our staff is still evaluating what the operational impact will be if we moved to haul waste elsewhere,” according to the county.
