Daily Chronicle File Photo A waste management employee uses a tarp to cover the active landfill site at Waste Management in Cortland on Monday April 5, 2010. The daily act of covering the active site with plastic and soil is meant to keep garbage and odors contained as well as keep disease carrying rodents and birds from penetrating the landfill.
