Seneca County General Health District Denies Sunny Farms Landfill License Again

In a significant development during their latest meeting, the board once again denied the annual operating license for WIN Waste Innovations, formerly known as Sunny Farms Landfill, located in Fostoria, Ohio. The denial marks a continuation of the department’s stringent oversight of the landfill’s operations. WIN Waste Innovations is part of Tunnel Hill Partners, the largest waste-by-rail company in the United States.

This decision underscores ongoing concerns about the landfill’s impact on the local environment and community. Residents and stakeholders have long expressed frustrations over odor issues and environmental risks linked to the landfill, which has been a contentious issue in the region for years.

As the health board reinforces its stance, the spotlight remains on WIN Waste Innovations and its ability—or inability—to meet regulatory standards and community expectations. The public will be closely watching for further updates from Thursday’s meeting and any subsequent developments regarding the landfill’s future.
