“I love living here, but you know I would like to be able to go out and appreciate my yard and stuff when you open the front door and all you can get is woof. A big woof of whatever.”
Several residents that live near or around the Bradley County landfill say they have major health problems due to the toxic waste.
“You wake up in the middle of the night smothered, can’t get your breath, got to be leave your house to be able to get the stuff out of your lungs.”

All concerns brought before us and the County Commission have been addressed with the appropriate agencies. We remain in compliance with our permit and the State of Tennessee.”
