In a perfect world, with all of us working together, recycling and garbage reduction would be enough to avoid the need for more landfill space. However, today with each American creating approximately 4.4 pounds of trash every day and as our region's population grows, the need for a modern, environmentally safe disposal site is urgent.
Large-scale municipal landfills are a relatively new invention. The first modern sanitary landfill was created in Fresno, California in 1937. Today there are thousands of active landfills all over the United States. The challenge for our growing communities is that many of these disposal sites are either filling to capacity, environmentally outdated or too costly for cities to run in these tight economic times.
For over ten years, Gregory Canyon Landfill Ltd. has been working toward one goal: providing a state-of-the art, economically viable, convenient, and most importantly, environmentally safe disposal facility to serve the residents and businesses of San Diego County.
