After a total expense of more than $287,000 from the Landfill-Solid Waste Fund and months of serious, but ultimately unnecessary, angst among the neighbors, San Benito County’s much ballyhooed Resource Recovery Park exists in name only.
Residents remain concerned about increased traffic on John Smith Road even as supervisors approved a general plan amendment and application to CalRecycle to expand the daily tonnage allowed into the landfill from 500 tons per day up to 1,000 tons per day.
