Jackson County-The Spring Hill landfill in Jackson County is one of the few sites that has been handling tarballs and oil collected from Panhandle beaches.
In fact, it's the only approved site in Florida.
Waste Management and the Department of Environmental Protection was hoping to educate people about the process.
But very few people showed-up for the informational meeting.

Local beaches may not be seeing much oil, but a local landfill is getting its share.
As the only approved landfill in Florida to receive tar balls and oil, the Spring Hill landfill in Jackson County has been a busy place since the oil spill began.
"To date we've taken in about 15-thousand tons of the crude contaminated which is your tarballs, your sand, your vegetation. And then we've taken in about 500 tons of just MSW waste which the cleanup crews are producing, food, bottles, cans," says Waste Management's Community Affairs Manager Amy Boyson.
That's roughly 14% of the total volume of waste that comes through the landfill daily.
When Waste Management announced Spring Hill would become an oil and tar ball collection site, no doubt some neighbors were nervous.
"Of course if you hear that this material is coming to our landfill, you certainly will have concerns so the session today has alleviated a lot of those concerns because this landfill is a class one landfill that is designed to accept such materials," says Jackson County Administrator Ted Lakey.
Waste Management officials discussed their role in the cleanup efforts, emphasizing none of the material is considered 'hazardous.'
District Manager Jeff Massey say, "the tarballs, that just goes in with our regular waste, it really doesn't affect our operation at all, it just goes in as part of our daily routine."
And Department of Environmental Protection officials say the landfill is complying with state standards.
"I would say things have stepped up a little bit in terms of inspection frequencies because of the spill and because of the high-profile nature of it all," says Director Mary Jean Yon, Division of Waste Management.
Despite the small turnout, officials say the meeting was a benefit.
"The bottom line is we, as a company, wanted to make sure we did the responsible thing and be proactive to communicate with the community around us."

Waste Management says it will continue to help out with the oil spill disaster as long as needed.
