Greengairs Landfill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Greengairs Landfill is the largest landfill site in Scotland and is also considered to be Western Europe's largest (consented void) landfill site.[1] Greengairs was opened in 1990 [2] and handles in approximately 600-750,000 tonnes of waste per year, 55% of which is municipal waste. Greengairs features landfill gas collection systems which are used to generate electricity for export into the national grid.

The ownership of Greengairs has changed hands between Shanks Group and Waste Recycling Group.
