- Receiving area, workshop and administration
- Pre-treatment plant for processing leachate
- Composting of yard waste

More than 50% waste recycled
The Environmental Centre keeps constantly abreast of the latest development within environmentally responsible solid waste management. More than half of the solid waste received by the Environmental Centre is being treated and recycled instead of landfilled.
May last for 130 years
Not much solid waste is left for final landfilling. Thus the capacity of the landfill areas of the Environmental Centre is at present estimated to be at least 130 years, while the initial estimate was less than 30 years.
