Sooner Landfill

As of 2018, Sooner Landfill has approximately 963,238 tons of waste in place. The total permitted design capacity of the facility is 2,349,866 tons, meaning the site is currently at approximately 41% of its total design capacity. The facility accepts approximately 3,034 tons of waste per year based on the most recent annual data. At the current rate of fill, the facility is projected to reach capacity and close around 2059.

Sooner Landfill has an operational landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) project using a Direct Thermal system. of which approximately 0.5 mmscfd is actively collected. The landfill gas contains approximately 50.8% methane content. The gas collection system includes 19 extraction wells. This type of project converts waste-generated methane into usable electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while generating renewable energy for the local grid.

Sooner Landfill is located at 36339 E W 127 Rd, Wewoka, OK 74884, USA, 74884. The facility is situated in Seminole County, Oklahoma.

Sooner Landfill has an active landfill gas (LFG) collection system in place. Of that, approximately 0.5 mmscfd is collected by the system. The gas contains approximately 50.8% methane, which can be captured for energy generation. The facility operates 19 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.

Sooner Landfill participates in the following environmental programs: leachate recirculation is practiced to accelerate waste decomposition; an LFG energy project with status 'Operational' 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.
