Miramar Landfill

More than 1.4 million tons of waste is disposed at the Miramar Landfill every year. Miramar landfill provides an extensive materials recycling service to allow the public to recycle many materials including clothing,
household goods, glass, plastic and metal containers. Closed areas of the landfill are revegetated with native plants cultivated in the Landfill Nursery. The nursery is able to house and grow 30,000 plants at once. To help support this revegetation effort, high quality mulch, compost and wood chips are made at the Miramar Greenery, and are also available to the public. Miramar Landfill’s diverse operations provide attendees with an informative view of a modern state of the art facility.

 

Attendees will tour the Miramar Landfill via bus, stopping at several locations around the landfill to get a
closer look. The stops will highlight the following areas: Native Species Nursery, Miramar Greenery-the Greens/Wood Waste Recycling/Composting Area, the Recycle/Buy-Back Center & Household Hazardous Waste Transfer Facility and the Disposal Operations/Tipping Decks.
