A Vermont landfill that was ordered closed has shut down.
The Moretown landfill had until mid-April to close, but it closed on Saturday.
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources this month ordered the Moretown landfill to cease operations, citing odor problem sand groundwater pollution.
WPTZ-TV reported that landfill officials said they closed earlier than required to prepare an appeal of the agency's decision to the state's environmental court.
Vermont now has only one landfill left used for trash disposal, in the northern Vermont town of Coventry.
