Worthy waste?
When a wave of environmentally stringent regulations crashed on the municipal-run landfill scene in the 1990s, most governments decided to close shop rather than invest to upgrade their facilities.
Auburn chose to stick with it. Officials closed down the unlined trash heap from the 1950s, and started anew a short distance away on the same property. The city also kicked off the state required recycling program.
More than a decade later, Auburn is one of two New York cities that operates a dump. The other is Albany.
