What We Do

Our Commitment

Forward Landfill is committed to operating with environmental practices and policies that are good for our customers, local businesses and residents. Our local team of environmental managers, engineers and scientists ensures that the long-term management of landfill materials is environmentally responsible.

Initiatives

Forward Landfill is operated in a manner designed to protect public health and the environment. We regularly monitor and report our activities to the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control Division, CalRECYCLE, San Joaquin County Health Department, and others and we strive to meet or exceed all state and federal regulations. All waste is disposed of within the boundary of a constructed landfill area that has been engineered to protect the environment and meets all federal, state and local regulations. There are many environmental protection systems at Forward Landfill.

Energy
Environment
Water
Air Quality

The landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) project at Forward Landfill leverages the power of science and advanced technologies to collect landfill gas generated at the Landfill and convert it to clean, renewable energy. The facility captures and converts enough landfill gas to power 8,400 homes annually.

Landfill Management

Responsible landfill management involves the proper handling of landfill gas and liquids, which are byproducts of the decomposition of waste. It also requires science, engineering and technology to manage an evolving waste stream in a manner that is protective of the air, land and water upon which our communities depend.
