Please note that this landfill is CLOSED and does not accept waste. 

Bangor Township Landfill (Landfill), located at 2305 Two Mile Road, is a solid waste landfill that was closed under a Clean Michigan Fund Grant Agreement, signed on September 12, 1989. The base of the landfill is made of natural clay; there is no synthetic liner. The Landfill has groundwater monitoring wells and a leachate collection system that is not currently in use. EGLE requested that Bangor Township sample the groundwater monitoring wells for PFAS, due to the site’s history of groundwater contamination, which includes volatile organic compounds and metals. 

Groundwater flow is toward the northeast. Potentially impacted waterbodies include unnamed ponds adjacent to the landfill that discharge to the Tobico Marsh, located immediately to the northeast of Bangor Township Landfill. GeoWebFace and Wellogic do not show any drinking water wells in the area downgradient of this site.
