Eagle Point Landfill continues to execute our odor monitoring program that includes routine checks for odor at predetermined locations within the landfill property and the surrounding Community.

We are maintaining our focus on controlling landfill odor sources and not allowing odors offsite. Please contact the EPLF General Manager, Scott Mann ([email protected]) or the County if you do experience odor that may be coming from the Landfill.

Activities completed in January – March 2026.

• The facility is placing “fluff” waste in new Cell 18, while placing other waste in Cells 5, 6, 7, 10,11 and 12A.
