Summary
A legal showdown is unfolding in Sedalia, Missouri, as GFL Environmental seeks to expand its landfill by 71 acres—land they’ve owned since 2016—sparking tension with Pettis County officials who’ve long resisted new landfills. Despite a 2022 county ordinance limiting landfills to just one, a judge struck it down, leaving the county scrambling to rein in future developments. Now, with a revised ordinance requiring new landfills to be three miles from cities and allowing only one active site, the county faces off against GFL’s expansion and a competing proposal from Presidio Environmental, which argues the GFL project isn’t an expansion at all—but the state’s DNR disagrees. The battle pits local control against state permitting, with companies caught in the crossfire.
