Landfill trucks draw protest
An angry group of St. Clair County residents who live on 32 Mile Road, just outside of the Macomb County line, have petitioned to stop the Canadian truck traffic that roars past their homes on the way to the Pine Tree Acres landfill.
The Canadian caravan, up to 300 trucks per day, used to take a route down I-94 to 26 Mile Road. But for the past two months they’ve been exiting at 32 Mile Road, also known as Division Road, causing 12 hours of daily nuisance for the residents of Casco and Columbus townships.
“We just want the trucks to go back on the route they were using before,” said Bill Zeeman, who started the petition drive. “We’re not out to shut down the garbage dump, as if we could do that.”
