We have a similar situation in Italy with garbage.

Nobody wants new waste dumps anywhere near (tens of miles) of their own houses, and each time there's an insane amount of blockades and protests.

Bureaucracy gets very messy because towns and provinces and regions (equivalent to less federated us states, more or less) and the central government start having legal disputes over those things that drag decades.

Long term a waste dump (landfill) can be good. Cap it off and it becomes park land or sports field.
