Westside Recycling and Disposal Facility: 269-279-5444
Westside Recycling and Disposal Facility located at 14094 M-60 West consists of an active municipal solid waste landfill (Type II Landfill) and a closed industrial, construction and demolition landfill (Type III Landfill). The Type II landfill receives non-hazardous residential, commercial, and construction and demolition waste. The Type III landfill accepted foundry sand, industrial waste, and construction and demolition waste and was closed in August 2004.
The site was sampled on December 16, 2019, per a request from EGLE and an approved work plan dated September 24, 2019. Four locations were sampled, including an upgradient well, a well of known historical impact (non-PFAS), and two downgradient wells.
The general groundwater flow direction is to the Northeast. There may be residential wells in the area.
Content posted August 2020.
See an aerial view of the location of the site.
EGLE will work with the local health department to review residential well logs in the area and discuss potential residential well sampling.
EGLE will evaluate the proximity of residential wells.
