A recycling company conducts material recovery operations to salvage metals, paper, cardboard, and wood to defer reusable materials from disposal at the landfill.

Expansion

The landfill recently received approval from Indiana Department of Environmental management (IDEM) to vertically expand the landfill. This landfill expansion provides airspace until 2030. The landfill has additional expansions planned which will extend the life of the landfill beyond 2050 for the region. The construction of the balance of the subsurface cut-off wall and perimeter collection system will be completed in the next few years which also includes the construction of an additional sedimentation basin to support the landfill operations within the next 4 to 7 years. The landfill will be maintained for a minimum of 30 years following final closure of the landfill as required by IDEM requirements. A general location map is attached which shows the existing landfill and the proposed expansion boundaries with respect to its surroundings.
