Landfills
Landfill Carbon Storage
Milestone landfills are engineered to sequester carbon safely and permanently prevent contamination of underlying geologies. Our landfills are newly built and equipped with the most advanced protective technologies. Redundant liners, leak detection systems, groundwater monitoring wells, rigorous maintenance programs – every detail of our landfills meets or exceeds the latest permitting requirements. We ensure regulatory compliance, while helping you lower greenhouse gas emissions and achieve environmental targets.

Integrity top to bottom
Our landfills handle both incidental solid and liquid waste streams. To prevent leakage at our landfills, we utilize advanced liner technologies and monitoring systems. Liquid waste delivered to the facilities also undergoes a dehydration or bulking process before disposal.
Milestone landfills are built to ensure maximum integrity and the highest level of long- term environmental security. Unlike municipal landfills that are full of greenhouse-gas-emitting organic waste, our facilities are designed as a permanent carbon sink. Our sophisticated liner systems prevent leachate from migrating into groundwater, and any leachate recovered is either sequestered in our nearby slurry injection well or blended into other solid waste and reinterred in our landfill.
Built for permanent landfill carbon storage
- Groundwater monitoring wells
- 24-inch protective soil layer
- Leachate collection system with pipe, geo-composite layer, and 60-mil HDPE liner
- Leak detection system with geo-composite layer and 60-mil HDPE liner
- Geo-synthetic clay liner
In and out fast
Milestone landfills are located close to our slurry injection facilities, which are strategically located near our customers, giving you a single, convenient, and cost-effective solution for all your waste management needs. By being in close proximity to major industrial and energy hubs, we minimize transportation costs and turnaround times for our customers. From offloading to washout, we optimize traffic flow so trucks stay on the move instead of idling in the queue. Less fuel is burned, less CO₂‚ is released, and more progress is made toward your environmental goals.
