Highland Park landfill

Highland Park Landfill is a controlled facility where waste from households and businesses is safely deposited. It is designed with layers of soil and liners to prevent contaminants from escaping into the environment. The landfill manages waste responsibly by controlling odors, leachate, and gases like methane. Over time, the site may be capped and reclaimed for parks, hiking, or other uses, turning waste into a manageable and environmentally sound resource. Proper management ensures it minimizes environmental impact and protects public health.
