Central Landfill operations include:
- Household Waste Cell (working face): The most expensive to build, the household waste cell is a working lined cell for disposal of leachate producing materials such as daily household waste;
- Construction and Demolition Cell (C&D): An unlined cell for disposal of materials that do not present a hazard to the environment such as wood, concrete, tires and other construction debris;
- Asbestos Cell: A toxic material, once asbestos is buried it may never be uncovered again;
- Hazardous Waste Processing Facility: This facility takes oils, antifreeze, pesticides, herbicides, asbestos, other dangerous or flammable liquids, batteries and electronics;
- Composting Classroom: The Borough sponsors FREE training for those wishing to learn to compost. The savings from keeping this waste from the household waste cell easily pays for the cost of the program. Find upcoming classes on our Recycling page;
- Facilities maintenance operations; and
- Vehicle and equipment maintenance operations.
