Episode Details

Fort Worths booming population, now over one million, is generating a surge in waste, with Texans producing two pounds more garbage per person daily than the national average. This is causing landfills to reach capacity faster, with some near Austin having only two to six years left. North Texas has about thirty-seven years of capacity remaining statewide. Local leaders are calling for a team effort to reduce waste, with Fort Worth securing a $4 million grant from the EPA to boost reuse programs. However, opening new landfills is a lengthy process, and recent plans in Tarrant County have faced neighborhood resistance.
