WINSLOW MSW LANDFILLL - Solid Waste Landfill in Winslow, Arizona, USA

WINSLOW MSW LANDFILLL is an operational solid waste landfill located in Winslow, Arizona, United States. The facility manages municipal solid waste for the surrounding area and operates under the regulatory oversight of the US EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D, which governs municipal solid waste landfills. The landfill is situated in Navajo County, Arizona, a region characterized by arid climate and low population density. As a landfill, it is subject to federal regulations including landfill gas management and leachate control. The facility's NAICS code 562212 indicates it is classified as a solid waste landfill, which typically involves waste disposal, compaction, and covering operations. The facility plays a key role in managing solid waste for Winslow and nearby communities. Its operational status ensures ongoing waste disposal services, while compliance with RCRA Subtitle D helps mitigate environmental risks such as groundwater contamination and methane emissions. The landfill's location in a dry climate may reduce leachate generation compared to wetter regions.

The Winslow area has an arid climate with low annual precipitation, which reduces the potential for leachate generation from the landfill. However, groundwater protection remains critical, as landfills must manage leachate to prevent contamination of local aquifers. Methane gas collection systems are typically required for larger landfills to control greenhouse gas emissions. The facility's proximity to Interstate 40 and residential areas may also raise considerations regarding traffic and odor management.
