Solid Waste Facilities

Agency: Environmental Quality



  • The above link takes you to a map of Michigan that indicates where Michigan's active Type II and Type III solid waste landfills are located.  The type of landfill is indicated by either a "Red" circle (Type II Landfills) or a "Blue Triangle" (Type III Landfills.)  Attached to that map is an index that gives you some basic information for each landfill for reference (Waste Data System [WDS] Number, Name, County, and Type of Landfill) and also provides a link to the same landfill information that can be obtained by clicking directly on the map.  

    Directions on how to use the Map/Index
    : 

If you would like to see information on the landfills located in your county of residence, click on a corresponding landfill number on the map.  You can also click on the corresponding landfill number in the index.  Each landfill Web page will have the following information, if there is anything available:

  1. Basic WDS Information
  2. Facility Address
  3. Announcements (If any)
  4. The Current Construction Permit
  5. The Current License
  6. Any Other Pertinent Information (If any)
  7. Direct link to the landfill's information in WDS

Please note that these individual landfill Web pages are under construction and will be updated routinely when significant permit, license, and/or corrective action decisions are being made.  If there is not a link for a landfill that you are looking for, please return later to see if that landfill's information has been added or follow the instructions below to query WDS.

  • Lists of Solid Waste Landfills and other disposal sites from WDS

To generate a list of Michigan Solid Waste Landfills and other disposal sites select "Advance Search" on the WDS gray banner.  In the "Location Address Section" select MI in the "State Field."  Scroll down and expand the heading "Solid Waste."  If looking for a specific type of disposal facility, select that type in the "Disposal Area Type" field.  For landfills that accept municipal solid waste including household waste and friable asbestos, select "Type II MSW Landfill."  For landfills that accept construction and demolition waste, select "Type III-C&D Waste Landfill."  You can also search on other conditions such as facilities only accepting public waste, having an active license, or by geographical area, etc.
