Site 41 was a proposed landfill site in Simcoe County where I live.  The purchase and expropriation of land for the project resulted in numerous abandoned farm buildings in the area.  Thanks to public pressure, the landfill site project was abandoned.   Interestingly, no-one wants a landfill site in their backyard,  but few want to make the effort to reduce waste and recycle.   "But, what do we do with our garbage now?"
