A landfill that’s burning for at least a day in North Raleigh is causing problems for some residents.
A controlled burn is underway at Wall Recycling Raleigh, which is a disposal location for trees, stumps and limbs, Raleigh Fire Division Chief Robert Hodge said Saturday.
The company, which is located at 3000 Gresham Lake Road, obtained a permit for the burn, Hodge said.
Smoke was seen rising beside Interstate 540 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hodge said electronic signs along I-540 are now mentioning the burn.
Hodge said smoke from the fire was drifting across I-540.
Despite heavy rain on Sunday, the landfill fire appeared to continue Sunday night, according to images from a nearby NCDOT traffic cam.
