State targets landfill

Staff report

WARREN

The Ohio attorney general’s office has filed a complaint against Total Waste Logistics, alleging it is violating Ohio law in the operation of its construction-demolition and debris landfill on Salt Springs Road in Girard.

The complaint, filed in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court, asks the court to issue an order preventing the company from accepting pulverized debris, preventing the company from accepting solid waste and ordering the company to correct ponding and erosion problems.

The suit says Total Waste Logistics, 1025 Bundy Road, Girard, has persisted in violating Ohio laws in 2006, 2007 and 2008, despite the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s asking the company to correct these problems.

A call late Thursday to John Viglio, statutory agent for Total Waste Logistics, seeking comment on the suit was not immediately returned.
