Huge news! After years of organizing and pressure from Claremont, NH residents, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services DENIED Acuity’s permit modification to turn a recycling transfer station into a toxic construction and demolition waste transfer station.

Green text that reads, “VICTORY! Construction and Demolition Waste Transfer Station Permit DENIED." Above the text there is an image of four people holding signs saying, "No C&D", "No Toxic Waste," and "Acuity Toxic Community Says NO!!"
