Shpack Landfill

Shpack Landfill is a hazardous and radioactive "superfund" waste site in Norton, Massachusetts. Between 1946 and 1965 it accepted all types of waste including low-level radioactive industrial wastes consisting of uranium and radium from the Attleboro-based Metals & Controls Inc. who manufactured radium tipped, luminous, aircraft switches and circuit breakers. The company experienced a number of mergers, passing through the hands of Texas Instruments, and is now known as Sensata.
