It has burned 1,000 tons of trash almost every day since it was built in 1989. It is the single biggest polluter in all of Hennepin County. It emits numerous health-damaging air pollutants into some of the most overburdened and health-impacted communities in MN-- including lead, particulate matter, toxic PFAS, and carcinogenic dioxins from burning many tons of plastic each day. The population within a 3-mile radius has a higher concentration of low-income households than 89 percent of the state, and a higher percentage of people of color than 90 percent of the state. Join us on Tuesday August 15th at 1pm to tell Hennepin County we won't stand by while HERC poisons our community.
