County wants input for plan to develop Cedar Hills Regional Landfill

King County’s main landfill continues to draw criticism amid talks of addressing long-term garbage disposal options.

King County’s Solid Waste Division issued a final Environmental Impact Statement for the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill 2020 site development plan and facilities relocation on March 22, which initiates an appeal period to enable the public to review and submit formal appeals on the adequacy of the document by April 8.

King County’s Solid Waste Division reports it is working on this project to meet the region’s need for waste disposal services — and to ensure there is adequate capacity in the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill to continue accepting garbage beyond 2028.
