Landfills contribute to the rising temperatures endangering lives and property, too. In addition to carbon dioxide, they emit large amounts of the greenhouse gas methane, which is 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide over the near-term.
Seneca Meadows also impinges on day-to-day life, Taylor said. Some days, the stench from the landfill has been so strong that schoolchildren in surrounding towns like Waterloo and Seneca Falls don’t play outside during recess and businesses shut their windows. Taylor said some tourists have been surprised when they visit the region’s wineries on certain days and get a whiff of what’s in the air.
“People can’t enjoy their holidays,” Taylor said.

Protect the Finger Lakes for Future Generations
Public Education | Citizen Participation | Engagement with Decision Makers | Networking with Like-Minded Organizations
Join us in understanding the urgent threats facing the Finger Lakes and take action to protect our land and waters. Industrial projects, pollution, and harmful development put our region’s health, economy, and way of life at risk. At Seneca Lake Guardian, a Waterkeeper Alliance Affiliate, we believe that protecting our lakes is a shared responsibility—one that requires awareness, advocacy, and community partnership. We are the only organization dedicated to actively working to protect the Finger Lakes from dirty industrial projects that could threaten the health of our lakes, our rural community character, the Finger Lakes Brand, or the livelihoods of the small business owners who depend on the lakes for their success. Together, we can defend the Finger Lakes from environmental harm and ensure they remain clean, vibrant, and thriving for generations to come. Be a part of the movement to safeguard our waters—because once they’re gone, there’s no turning back.
Seneca Lake Guardian is a New York State Not-for-Profit Corporation with 501(c)(3) status. It is dedicated to preserving and protecting the health of the Finger Lakes, its residents and visitors, its rural community character, and its agricultural and tourist-related businesses. This is achieved through public education, citizen participation, engagement with decision-makers, and networking with like-minded organizations.
