Oak Grove Landfill

As of 2022, Oak Grove Landfill has approximately 5,209,269 tons of waste in place. The total permitted design capacity of the facility is 8,919,009 tons, meaning the site is currently at approximately 58% of its total design capacity. The facility accepts approximately 224,243 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 2030.

Oak Grove Landfill has an operational landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) project using a Reciprocating Engine system. The facility generates approximately 2.0 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of landfill gas, of which approximately 1.6 mmscfd is actively collected. The landfill gas contains approximately 54.1% methane content. The gas collection system includes 77 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.

Oak Grove Landfill has an active landfill gas (LFG) collection system in place. The facility generates approximately 2.0 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of landfill gas. Of that, approximately 1.6 mmscfd is collected by the system. The gas contains approximately 54.1% methane, which can be captured for energy generation. The facility operates 77 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.

Oak Grove 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.
