Project summary

Walker Environmental Group Inc. (Walker) is proposing to expand its existing South Landfill located in the City of Niagara Falls. The South Landfill Phase 2 project would see Walker expand landfilling operations to Walker’s Southeast Quarry, east of Taylor Road. This would provide an additional 18 million cubic metres of disposal capacity, which is anticipated to allow the site to continue accepting waste for an additional 20 years.
