The map above shows active solid waste facilities in Massachusetts. If you zoom in to each site using the slider on the left side of the map you will see the approximate area of the facility outlined in red. We also have a larger Google Earth file that displays the active, inactive, and closed solid waste facilities in Massachusetts. In order to view this file you will need to have Google Earth installed on your computer, or download it for free from the Google Earth Website.
Active, Inactive, and Closed Solid Waste Facilities in Massachusetts
These maps were exported from the 2006 DEP Solid Waste Facilities GIS Database layer available through Mass GIS. This statewide datalayer contains the majority of facilities currently regulated under Department of Environmental Protection's solid waste regulations (310 CMR 16.00 & 19.00). This datalayer does not contain all solid waste facilities known to DEP. The MassGIS Land Use datalayer has waste site and mining classifications that may represent landfills not in the solid waste datalayer.
The source of this data is the Office of Geographic and Environmental Information (MassGIS), Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
