C.L.O.U.T. is a county-wide organization that opposes a landfill that recieves and processes out of county trash being built inside Cherokee County.  Waste Management has recently proposed a landfill that will be located inside the Mckowns Mountain community.  The total acreage of the proposed site is 1,550 acreas and could bring in trash from a 75 mile radius.  Such a landfill will have a negative impact on the county and the community, making Cherokee County the "Dump of the South."

Do you want this to be your backyard view?

 We are not the only ones who don't want Waste Management to come into our county.  Click here to check out Spartanburg's fight that they won!  Do we want something they wouldn't take?

 

South Carolina is becoming a popular dumping ground.  Read this article that was in "The State" newspaper this week.
