Scotland County of Tomorrow (SCOT) will be holding a rally on Monday, April 2 at 6pm in Laurinburg. Why are we rallying? To let Scotland County commissioners know that we don’t want a mega-dump in Scotland County! A dump like this would not only import waste from many other states, it would import 5,000 TONS of trash a day AND would be as tall as a 28-story building!

North Carolina needs better,  more comprehensive recycling programs to create jobs and keep reusable materials out of our landfills. Check out Zero Waste America and eco-cycle for ways we can reduce waste, instead of finding new places to put it! If you can’t attend the rally but would still like to be involved, consider writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper, or contact the Scotland County commissioners directly.
