Tour the Landfill

Facility tours are an excellent opportunity for schools and other organizations to visit the Eastview Landfill Site and the Material Recovery Facility, located on the same property, to observe the daily operations of the Solid Waste Section.

From landfill staff hauling daily cover for the tipping face, turning compost, and developing new landfill cells to collection staff delivering recycling/garbage, MRF staff sorting recyclables and baling, and loading trailers to send off to far away markets, visitors will see the continuation of an object as it goes through its life cycle. Where it ends up is usually dependent on YOU—the residents of the City of Brandon (whether at home or at work)—residents’ choices determine whether an item is buried in the landfill, never to be seen again, or transported to another facility where it will go through the life cycle process all over again.

Participation is not limited, however, group sizes of 20 or less are most ideal. We can plan for larger groups if necessary. Participants in the tour should wear proper attire, including long pants and closed toe shoes with rubber soles. Skirts, shorts, tank tops, and high heels are not allowed.
