Uncollected trash continues to mount in Irvine, California, following damage to one of Orange County’s landfills during last month’s Silverado Fire—and the company contracted to haul it away is blaming the county for the setback.
The Frank R. Bowerman Landfill in Irvine, one of the California county’s three landfills, was damaged when parts of it were scorched by the blaze that began on Oct. 26. The landfill was reported to have “significant damage to the environmental control and stormwater infrastructure,” according to a statement released by Orange County Waste & Recycling (OCWR).
