A Chattanooga dump truck leaves Chattanooga and C&D landfill complex in Harrison, TN.Question: Whatever happened to the landfill cleanup on Birchwood Pike?
A. Constant dump truck traffic from the city landfill on Birchwood Pike in Harrison has historically left a treacherous trail of rubbish, mud and fist-sized stones.
But cleanup efforts made by Chattanooga staff in early March started to give residents hope that the city was going to start keeping up its landfill in the unincorporated county, some 20 miles outside the city’s center.
Betty Arendale said Wednesday the situation has improved.
She lives on the 9300 block of Birchwood Pike, less than a mile from the landfill’s entrance.
