(Part 2) Casella lies to Bethlehem NH about accepting asbestos.

Casella Waste Systems', (Casella), employee Kevin Roy first claims that asbestos was not accepted at their North Country Environmental Services, (NCES) landfill in Bethlehem NH. When these claims are challenged in a letter to the editor, Casella published a one hundred ninety two page book refuting those allegations. Ironically that book contains the documentation that proved Casella lied to Bethlehem about accepting asbestos.
Documents prove that 350 truckloads of asbestos contaminated construction and demolition debris were accepted at for three years beginning in 1999 and spread over the main part of Casella's NCES landfill. Asbestos was also accepted by Casella until the mid 1990's and buried at unknown locations.
Now Casella wants to dig the asbestos back up, which goes against the 18 votes by Bethlehem to not expand the NCES landfill, in an effort to burry an additional 1,000,000 tons of waste on top of the 3,500,000 tons that are already there. Filmed July 7, 2008.
