Landfill safety
City landfills are industrial worksites with large equipment, such as compactors and garbage trucks, continuously moving around.
We take our responsibility seriously to keep everyone on the landfill safe. Before you head to the landfill, check
our safety tips. And for more information about The City's Landfills
