Congress Development Company
The Congress Development Company in Hillside, Illinois, owns and operates the former 55-acre Congress Landfill that accepted waste from Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area homes and businesses from 1980 through 2008. The site is closed for the acceptance of waste. The only material accepted is topsoil for use in grading the surface. That topsoil meets strict acceptance criteria, and it is not special waste or hazardous waste.
We have invested considerable resources to ensure that the now-closed Congress Landfill complies with all local, state and federal regulations and that odors remain under control. For instance, we have constructed a new wastewater treatment facility, as well as a new leachate removal system, which has enhanced our ability to remove leachate and gas from the landfill. Additionally, we installed a high-temperature enclosed flare that provides more capacity to efficiently burn larger quantities of gas and control odor.
We will continue to find ways to improve the functionality of the now-closed landfill.
