CES Landfill Public Meeting Set for Thursday in Newtown

Pennsylvania’s Dept. of Environmental Protection will host a public information meeting on Thursday evening in Newtown, Reilly Township, to discuss the proposed expansion of CES Landfill.

CES Landfill wants to expand its geographic operation, what it’s calling a Southwest Expansion.

The landfill’s plan is not to increase tonnage accepted at the facility, rather just to expand the land on which it operates. CES says without this expansion, it’ll run out of room at its current location by 2029.

If expansion is approved, CES Landfill says it can operate until about 2058.

Reilly Township is hosting the meeting at Newtown Fire Hall on Oct. 24, starting at 6 p.m. However, DEP has invited all three townships where CES Landfill operates: Reilly, Foster, and Frailey.

According to Reilly Township officials, there will be a question-and-answer session with DEP at this public town hall on Thursday. CES officials are expected to be in attendance.

Reilly Township, specifically, is also pondering a possible second landfill there, with Waste Management reportedly looking to purchase land at Blackwood.
