It is anticipated that landfill activities can continue at this location for the next 50 years. There is approximately 640 total acres that may be used for development. Once the landfill is at capacity and because it is filled vertically, suggestions for post-closure use have included recreation sites with rope tows for small ski slopes and sledding areas. The waste is weighed and monitored for content by landfill attendants. Vehicles are then directed to the appropriate disposal area, either in the building on the tipping floor, to the working face of the landfill, or to another designated area.
Vehicles weigh out prior to leaving the site.
The site operator is responsible for all operations and maintenance of the facility and for employing qualified, trained operators and attendants. Baling Waste that is deposited in the building is screened for hazardous or unallowed materials prior to transport via conveyor to a baler pit. The waste is then compacted into approximately 3.5 x 4 x 5-foot cubes weighing an average of 3,200 pounds each. After compaction, the bales are transported to the landfill for stacking and burial. Recyclables can be baled prior to sending to markets.
