About

Broadhurst Landfill

Broadhurst Landfill has been providing safe and environmentally responsible disposal solutions for businesses and municipalities throughout southeastern Georgia since 1993.

The Landfill uses highly advanced, environmentally responsible practices, such as lining waste cells with an HDPE liner which sits on-top of an engineered soil liner. The liner system safely contains waste and helps to protect the local ecosystem. In addition, the Landfill maintains a sophisticated liquids management system, including leachate collection and storage, and a protective groundwater monitoring system. ­
