Keeping Landfill Leachate Disposal Safe, Simple, and Compliant

Keeping Landfill Leachate Disposal Safe, Simple, and Compliant

Every landfill has one thing in common — leachate. It’s the dark, often odorous liquid that forms when water filters through waste material and picks up all kinds of contaminants along the way. At White Owl Services, we know what’s in it, and more importantly, we know how to handle it.

Our Alexander Class 1 Facility in North Dakota was built with landfill partners in mind. Special waste landfills often deal with complex leachate containing heavy metals, salts, and organics that can’t be treated by standard municipal systems. That’s where Class 1 disposal comes in.

When leachate arrives at our facility, our team begins with a quick yet thorough analysis to make sure everything meets acceptance criteria. From there, we treat the load as needed — adjusting pH, separating solids, and preparing it for deep-well injection into Class 1 formations far below drinking-water zones. This isn’t just compliant; it’s the safest way to isolate and contain the waste for the long term.

We’ve built a system that’s efficient for both landfill operators and truck drivers. Drivers get a smooth check-in process, clear signage, and fast offloading. Landfill managers get detailed disposal documentation and the peace of mind that their site remains in full compliance with North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality regulations.

Leachate is a reality of landfill management, but with White Owl Services, it doesn’t have to be a problem. Our Alexander facility provides a dependable, fully permitted solution — keeping North Dakota’s land, water, and communities protected.
