Dickson County is a place of endless natural beauty, rural character and with deep roots in American history. Unfortunately, due to Nashville’s explosive development and building, industrialization is creeping further into nearby counties like Dickson County every day.

Other counties across Middle Tennessee are seeing an explosion of quarries and industrial sites that benefit Nashville developers at the expense of our rural communities. Additionally, Nashville’s population explosion is leading to landfills filling up causing a trash crisis in Middle Tennessee. Waste companies are looking for new places to open landfills. 

We can stop these industrial sites coming to Dickson County before it’s too late. Right now, there is no limit on how close a landfill or quarry can be to your home. 

We are asking for proactive, common sense regulations that keep these industrial sites away from our residential areas: 

• No quarry or mining within 2000ft of a residential property. 

• No quarry on a lot smaller than 150 acres. 

• No landfill within 2000ft of a residential property. 

The truth is that without these simple regulations, these industrial mining and waste facilities will come to Dickson County and threaten our way of life, property values, roads and infrastructure, environment, and safety.
