Ocean City, Maryland- Ocean City is facing criticism over its handling of waste disposal.
Activists are calling for people to black-list the town until it starts sending its waste to a local landfill instead of a majority-Black town in Pennsylvania.
Currently, Ocean City waste is being shipped to Chester-Pennsylvania,a majority Black town over a 130 miles away.
Ocean City stopped recycling in 2010 and chose instead to burn trash to create energy.
Incinerators like the one in Chester, and those in Baltimore, are coming under criticism for the pollution it creates.
Environementalists say this method disproportionally affects black and low income neighborhoods.
