Residents for Alternatives to Trashing Southbridge (RATS) is an ad hoc organization of citizens from the communities affected by the Southbridge Landfill.

We oppose Casella's plan to make Southbridge a raw garbage dump for the state. We call on the Southbridge Board of Health to protect the public health from the dangers of contaminated air and water, toxic gases, and overall environmental degradation by denying Casella's application.

Furthermore we call on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the town governments of Southbridge, Sturbridge, and Charlton to further safeguard our region by making Zero Waste plans for waste reduction and safe management of discards.
