More of N.J. landfill known for rotten egg smell will be capped in 2025, officials say

A New Jersey waste collector will start covering more of its landfill in Atlantic County early next year, attempting to control odors that have upset residents and become the subject of a federal lawsuit.
In February, the Atlantic County Utilities Authority will begin capping 16 acres of its landfill at its Egg Harbor Township facility. The project is being funded through $7 million awarded by county commissioners earlier this month.
