Residents Protest Expansion of Milpitas Landfill

Some South Bay residents are causing a stink, trying to keep a nearby landfill from getting even bigger.

About 200 Milpitas residents protested at a San Jose Planning Commission meeting Wednesday night. They're upset over a proposal to expand the Newby Island landfill in Milpitas, along Dixon Landing Road and Interstate 880.

Some residents have even filed a lawsuit, calling the landfill a health risk.

The commission put off making a decision until May 6.
