HICKMAN EGGS Landfill - Glendale, Arizona Solid Waste Management Facility

HICKMAN EGGS is a landfill facility located at 7403 N 91st Ave, Glendale, Arizona, within Maricopa County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 562212 for Solid Waste Landfills. It plays a role in managing municipal solid waste in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The landfill operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, including RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills and Clean Air Act requirements for landfill gas management. Arizona's solid waste rules align with federal standards, requiring liners, leachate collection, and groundwater monitoring to protect local resources. As a landfill in a rapidly growing urban area, HICKMAN EGGS must manage environmental impacts such as methane emissions, leachate generation, and community proximity. Proper gas collection and groundwater protection are critical to minimizing risks and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

The landfill is situated in the Sonoran Desert climate of Arizona, where low rainfall reduces leachate generation but evaporation concentrates contaminants. Groundwater in the region is a vital resource, making leachate management and monitoring essential. Proximity to residential areas in Glendale requires careful odor and traffic control, as well as methane gas collection to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
