The Central Landfill is not a dump—it is an environmental engineering marvel! As a sanitary landfill, trash is compacted to take up as little space as possible and is isolated from the surrounding environment. Trash is placed, buried, and covered in such way that it limits contact with air, light, water, animals, and people. Resource Recovery anticipates that at projected disposal rates it will not exhaust its permitted disposal capacity until the year 2046. To learn more about the Central Landfill, you can download “A Guide to Resource Recovery” here, containing more information about all of our operations.
