The city of Cleveland is proposing to build a garbage incinerator at the Ridge Road Transfer Station.
It would involve the cooking of trash at high temperatures and the release of toxic pollutants into the air.
Recycling and reuse of materials is more energy efficient than combustion,and could create hundreds of jobs.
The city should not gamble millions of dollars on unproven technology that could endanger my family's health.

so we have $18M to build this in Cleveland? REALLY? I can’t even get a tree removed off my tree lawn that has destroyed my yard, sidewalk and have constant flooding because the City Has No Money – but we have money for this? THIS IS WRONG – why don’t you use this $18M to build up the City instead of destroying it. Why don’t you bring back recycling.

Building this incinerator will negatively affect the property value of the property in the surrounding neighborhoods which have already taken a substantial hit during the last financial crisis in the country.

Please consider not letting this be built here in Cleveland. I live close to Ridge Rd on the west side of Cleveland, and I already have a problem breathing, as do others I know. Mercury will be released into the air if this garbage incinerator is built. Not only will I have to move, so will others I know; and we own homes here. We simply will have no choice but to leave Cleveland if it is built. We have to breathe.

Stop the Ridge Road Incinerator. It will add dangerous toxins to the air. Recycling is a better option. http://t.co/LBMLSL9p

I lived in Cleveland all my life and even though I no longer live in the Cleveland area; my whole family still lives in Cleveland. My mother has lung and cardiovascular disease. Her doctor (Ann Wise) is at the Neighborhood Family Practice center. My mother does not deserve to be used as a guinea pig for your waste incinerator. She has enough problems already without having to take a chance of more problems, or making her already existing problems worse from your plant.

I just moved out of Cleveland, but I do have family in Cleveland. I do not think that this would be a good thing at all. There is too much that could go wrong, just like the one that they tried to put in Columbus. They didn’t think that it would be harmful either, but it was and they had to shut it down. Why should Cleveland residents be the guinea pigs now. I don’t want to see my family with any more health issues that they already have and I certainly don’t want myself, my husband, or my children develop any health related issues to this when we go to visit our family.
