Clean Air a Lost Luxury in Bolivar, Ohio. Stench Prompts Odor Lawsuit With Attorneys From Weitz & Luxenberg and Steven D. Bell.


To be a part of our lawsuit, please complete the form below to fill out a questionnaire and mail in your retainer. View the Complaint.

Residents living around the Countywide Recycling & Disposal Facility near Bolivar, in Stark County, which is located about ten miles SW of Canton, are contending with an unacceptable quality of life.

A horrible stench has engulfed their properties, making the simple act of stepping outside for fresh air, a lost luxury.

According to locals, this untenable situation has been going on for years, but now, the stench and gas odors have extended over 25 miles beyond the landfill site.

Many people have contacted the City Health Department, Division of Air Pollution Control, as well as the Division Outdoor Air Nuisance.

Fed up with the foul odor, they have organized and attended meetings, and are now exploring the option of bringing a lawsuit to fight for their right to a clean environment.

People living around the Countywide landfill are simply devastated by the countless waste dump vehicles traveling through their neighborhoods daily. Some have reported that the trucks trail liquid waste and chemicals onto the roads. Due to the horrific odor, homeowners are unable to sell, rent or move from homes.

Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C. represents over 50 water providers whose water supplies have been contaminated with MTBE, as well as several communities around the country for the personal injuries and property damage they have suffered as a result of pollution.
