ANDERSON COUNTY, Tenn. — Editor's Note: This story was corrected to reflect the landfill is operated by Waste Management. Waste Connections manages drop-off centers.
A fire that broke out at Chestnut Ridge Landfill Friday morning could impact Anderson County's trash drop-off centers, according to a spokesperson from the Anderson County government.
The landfill, operated by Waste Management, is limiting access for drop-offs to two trucks at a time due to the fire, Anderson County Solid Waste Management said. The wait could cause delays in dumpsters returning to convenience centers for re-use.
When full, trash dumpsters from the convenience centers are picked up and taken to the landfill for disposal.
The public is asked to be patient if there are delays at the local convenience centers over the next couple of days.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
