The Hall County Board of Commissioners heard pleas Monday night from Gainesville residents, including Councilwoman Myrtle Figueras, to deny a proposed private landfill off Monroe Drive near Athens Highway. "We don’t need any more trash on the Southside," Figueras said. "As I’ve said to City Council, if we’re going to locate trash, why not consider Thompson Bridge Road or somewhere besides U.S. 129 South."
