About this episode

Plainfield residents are mobilizing in force to stop a proposed trash-to-energy plant, pouring nearly $250,000 into legal fees to fight it — with 90% of voters backing the effort. The 81-acre facility, which would process 1,800 tons of trash daily, has sparked fierce community resistance, including signs plastered across town and calls for direct action at the Connecticut Siting Council. Already designated an Environmental Justice Community, Plainfield’s residents fear being treated as a dumping ground for industrial projects. While proponents say their gasification tech is cleaner and needed to tackle Connecticut’s waste crisis, locals remain unconvinced — and they’re ready to make their voices heard before the council’s fall public hearing.
