Huntsville, AL – An Alabama county is running out of room in a landfill as crews continue cleaning up debris after the March 2 tornadoes.
Madison County Commissioner Roger Jones says mountains of debris were dumped in the landfill after April 27 tornadoes. He said more debris from the recent storms have filled it almost to capacity.
Jones said a statewide moratorium on new landfills is complicating storm cleanup efforts. With no more space, Jones says that crews can't remove any more debris for homeowners that are insured.
Jones says the county commission is working to find a solution to the problem. He hopes the state legislature may lift the moratorium.
