Here’s What We Can Do for You
Custom Solutions
Waste Connections is now working with an east coast utility to harvest previously disposed fly ash for beneficial use. We are providing 175,000 tons of fly ash annually over the next five years to a Florida-based manufacturer for their use in the production of cement.
Waste Connections is also currently handling 85,000 tons annually of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) material generated by a Midwestern utility.
This gypsum is being stored in the Red Carpet landfill in Oklahoma so that it may be harvested for beneficial use by cement manufacturers as an additive in the clinker grinding process.
Our Locations
We own Arrowhead, the largest rail served Subtitle “D” landfill in the United States - featuring three major rail spurs with each spur capable of holding a unit train carload of 110 rail cars! The site, with a life span of 62 years, is permitted for 15,000 tons of waste daily.
We’ve constructed a monofil Subtitle “D” cell for accumulating fluidized gas desulfurization (FGD) material for later beneficial use. With a current inventory of over 300,000 tons, we are developing an end user marketing program for this material.
