Public Hearing
Meadowview Material Transfer Facility
A public hearing has been scheduled for Monday, May 18, regarding a local siting application for the proposed Meadowview Solid Waste Transfer Facility at 31725 N. Route 83 in Grayslake, adjacent to the Countryside Landfill.
Waste Management of Illinois, Inc. submitted an application seeking local siting approval for a proposed waste transfer and recycling facility as part of the long-term transition of the existing landfill site.
The application includes a new approximately 31,000-square-foot transfer facility with sustainability features, a 3,500-square-foot public recycling center and the ability to process up to 1,000 tons of waste per day. Waste currently handled on-site would be transferred to other disposal facilities.
Members of the public are invited to attend and participate in the hearing. If you'd like to learn more about the project, attending at the beginning of the hearing is the best way to hear directly from the applicant and their experts.
