Waste Disposal Engineering (WDE) SLF

As of 2018, Waste Disposal Engineering (WDE) SLF has approximately 2,400,000 tons of waste in place. The total permitted design capacity of the facility is 2,400,000 tons, meaning the site is currently at approximately 100% of its total design capacity. At the current rate of fill, the facility is projected to reach capacity and close around 1983.

Waste Disposal Engineering (WDE) SLF has an LFG energy project with a current status of 'Shutdown'. The project type is Stirling Cycle Engine. Landfill gas recovery projects capture methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and in many cases generating electricity or other usable energy.

Waste Disposal Engineering (WDE) SLF is operated by Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. It is classified as a public landfill, serving the residents and businesses of Andover, Anoka, Minnesota. For questions about billing, hours, or accepted materials, contact Minnesota Pollution Control Agency directly.

Waste Disposal Engineering (WDE) SLF currently covers approximately 70 acres with a depth of approximately 50 feet. The facility opened in 1962 and has been in continuous operation since then. The design specifications call for a total area of 70 acres. The size of a landfill reflects both its operational history and the volume of waste it has processed over its lifetime of service to the surrounding community.

Waste Disposal Engineering (WDE) SLF has an active landfill gas (LFG) collection system in place. Of that, approximately 0.2 mmscfd is collected by the system. The gas contains approximately 46% methane, which can be captured for energy generation. The facility operates 54 gas collection wells. Flares are in place at this facility. LFG collection reduces greenhouse gas emissions and, in some cases, generates renewable energy for the grid.

Waste Disposal Engineering (WDE) SLF participates in the following environmental programs: an LFG energy project with status 'Shutdown' is associated with this site. These initiatives help reduce the environmental footprint of landfill operations by capturing resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and diverting material from direct disposal. Contact the facility or its operator for more details on current environmental compliance status.
