Cumberland County Host Land Fill in an effort to help informed citizens make the best choice for our county.

May 31, 2006 Cumberland Supervisors signed a H ost Agreement with Cumberland Country Development Company, LLC (A wholly owed subsidiary of Allied Waste North America,Inc) to create a Host Land Fill. The proposed site of the landfill is in District 2.

Initially, the Land Fill will accept Waste from Washington, D. C., Maryland, and Virginia with the option of adding Waste from North Carolina in the future.

Please read Frequently Asked Questions for basic information.

Please read the Host Agreement between the Board of Supervisors of Cumberland County and the Cumberland County Development Company (a wholly owned subsidiary of Allied Waste North America, Inc.)

This site provides information about the projected financial rewards and anticipated obligations and liabilities of Cumberland having a Host Land Fill.
