The incredible engineering feat involved in building a new cell at Kate Valley Landfill has been showcased in the media.
Over the years we have been actively involved in regenerating Tiromoana Bush, next to Kate Valley Landfill.
Constructed from heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant steel, these new bins are now a common sight on trucks heading to the Kate Valley landfill.
Our modern landfills are taking the equivalent of over 250, 000 cars off the road each year.
Our modern engineered landfills play an important role in protecting the environment. Capturing over 90% of the biogas produced from waste and turning it into electricty, our Redvale Landfill & Energy Park is Auckland’s largest renewable energy generator.
When Waste Management purchased Tirohia Landfill in the Waikato three years ago, 70% of the methane gas produced by decomposing waste was released into the atmosphere.
Today the vibrant city of Auckland has 1.6 million residents and is still growing. Projections show the population will reach 2.5 million by 2041, and there is a significant amount of work required to establish the infrastructure needed to deal with this growth.
