DDPC is a community group dedicated to stopping the Scarboro Landfill expansion and bringing current operations up to state and federal permit compliance.

This site is presented by the Dublin-Darlington Preservation Coalition to inform the public of health and environmental hazards that the dump and it's expansion will cause and increase. This organization has undertaken a large amount of research concerning the landfill's conditions and impacts and will continue to provide documents, letters, photographs, reports, and public information. This site exists because there is no attempt by the county itself to include citizens in planning, or inform area residents of operations which severely impact their health and homes. In today's world, media becomes the eyes and ears for a public who might not otherwise be heard or seen.

The group would like to show that major efforts were undertaken by citizens to stop the expansion but were no match for elected officials who pushed it through for no other reason than to have a cheap way to dump their consistuents' trash in somenone else's backyard. The dump is a short-term moneymaking operation for the county for which the long-term costs are immeasurable. Use and operational fees will continually increase. What officials failed to realize was that it IS in their backyard, and they are leaving a degraded environment and an unmaintainable physical and financial burden to all future generations in Harford County.

This site is dedicated to Matthew Rutherford, a landfill employee who died at the age of 30 in Sept 2006 of chemical poisoning, and Richard Cockerham who died of injuries from a fall into a landfill recycling dumpster operating in permit violation in July 2007.

It is also dedicated to all county citizens and residents who bear the brunt of the impacts of this facility, as well as those who don't yet realize how this environmental damage will impact themselves and their children in the future.
