Citizens Against the Landfill in Hempstead (CALH)

Archive-It Partner Since: Aug, 2021

Organization Type: NGOs

Organization URL:   

Description:

Citizens Against the Landfill in Hempstead (CALH) was formed days after a group of citizens uncovered surreptitious plans for a landfill to be built on 723 rural acres, at a major highway intersection, close to a small Texas town, and over a critical aquifer recharge area. It took seven years, over 200,000 volunteer hours, 43 garage sales, 4 fundraising dinners, and $2.2 million raised and spent on legal fees, but the landfill developer finally abandoned their second MSW permit application on June 25, 2018

Title: Stop Highway 6 Landfill

Collection: Citizens Against the Landfill in Hempstead (CALH)

Description: This website chronicles the events surrounding a small rural Texas community's successful battle to stop an ill-sited landfill development during the years 2011 to 2018. 'It can't be stopped', 'It's a done deal', 'Our garbage has to go somewhere' did not deter this group of volunteers who knew what was right and what was wrong and, by raising over $2 million in garage sales and gala fundraisers, proved it!
