Inside a protected wetland, a landfill nears capacity

Rumney Marsh is a protected wetland in Saugus. It's also home to a landfill that's close to reaching its 50-foot height capacity. While activists say it's about time to lock down the landfill, the operator of the facility, WIN Waste, wants to expand landfill capacity, regardless of state regulations.
