Forward Landfill has reliably and responsibly provided disposal and diversion solutions for customers in San Joaquin County for more than 50 years. Until we live in a world without waste, landfills will remain an essential tool to protect the environment and keep communities clean.
Forward Landfill handles approximately 4,000 tons of waste daily, or more than 1 million tons every year.
Landfills are highly engineered facilities designed to protect communities and the environment.
At Forward Landfill, waste isn’t going to waste. Naturally occurring biogas is collected through a network of gas wells and delivered to an on-site renewable energy facility, where it is converted into electricity. Biogas is used to power two generators, which produce enough electricity to power nearly 9,000 homes annually.
A second renewable energy facility that will produce renewable natural gas (RNG) from landfill biogas is under construction and expected to open by the end of 2026.
