Scenario:

Landfills, while needed and useful, tend to pose issues within the community from time to time. Based on your knowledge of landfills, choose one of the following options to complete this assignment:

Option 1:

You are the project manager for Heaping Hills, a solid waste management company, who wants to bring a new landfill operation to the town of Williamsville. As the project manager, your task is to create a presentation for the community at the town hall meeting next week.

With a minimum 12-slide PowerPoint Presentation, include the following:

• An introduction that includes the company mission statement and track record with current/past landfills,
• A minimum of five advantages to bringing the landfill to Williamsville,
• A list of ways Heaping Hills strives to combat known issues landfills face when starting up or functioning within or near a community, and
• An explanation of at least three practices Heaping Hills can use that other known successful landfills uses and why.

Your presentation should be professionally created in regards to font size, style, and color schemes used within it. Please don't add a bunch of powerpoint animations effects. Those are not acceptable when presenting to large groups. Any sources used should be cited in APA format. Apply notes to slides that may need clarity or additional information.

Option 2:

As part of the process of potentially bringing Heaping Hills landfill to your community, the mayor has asked that any concerned citizens write letters explaining their concern to him and the town council. You happen to a concerned citizen and are adamantly opposed to a landfill coming to your community, thus prompting you to take the mayor up on his recommendation.

In an essay of at least 500 words, write to the mayor explaining your reasoning behind your opposition to the landfill coming to your community. Be sure to include the following:

• An introduction stating your foundation as to why a landfill coming to your community will be harmful, instead of beneficial,
• A minimum of five disadvantages to bringing the landfill to Williamsville,
• A report of at least three major issues that have come from landfills within the United States and how they affected the communities they were in or near, and
• A conclusion was summing up your points and finalizing your stance on wanting to prevent the landfill.

Your essay should be written in 12 point, Times New Roman font, and should be double-spaced. At a minimum, your article should contain the introduction, discussion, and conclusion. Any sources used should be cited in APA format in text and reference back. The paper will be scanned through a plagiarism software to check for originality.
