Broadway North Landfill - Tucson, Arizona Solid Waste Management Facility

Broadway North Landfill is an operational solid waste facility located at 7451 E 5th St in Tucson, Arizona, within Pima County. As a landfill, it serves the local community by providing municipal solid waste disposal services, operating under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's RCRA Subtitle D, which governs the design, operation, and closure of municipal solid waste landfills. The facility operates under the NAICS code 562212 (Solid Waste Landfill), indicating its role in the waste management sector. Landfills of this type typically handle significant volumes of waste from residential, commercial, and industrial sources. The regulatory context includes compliance with landfill gas management and leachate control requirements to minimize environmental impact. Located in the arid climate of southern Arizona, the landfill's environmental management focuses on groundwater protection and methane gas collection. The facility contributes to the region's waste infrastructure, supporting Tucson's growing population and economic activities. Its operational status ensures continued service for waste disposal needs in the area.

The landfill operates in the Sonoran Desert region, where low rainfall reduces leachate generation but groundwater protection remains critical due to the area's reliance on aquifers. Methane gas collection systems are typically required to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Proximity to residential areas in Tucson necessitates careful traffic management and odor control measures.
