2. Collier County Landfill Long-Range Planning Update Presentation

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

Collier County is considering long-range plans to optimize the Collier County Landfill (CCLF). The "East Option" is identified as the best value for securing long-term in-County disposal capacity. This option involves expanding the landfill footprint by up to 63 acres, adding an estimated 12.7 million cubic yards of airspace, which could extend the landfill's life by up to 27 years. The project is currently under review following a planning workshop and staff analysis. If approved, this project would likely involve significant site clearing, grading, and potentially new construction or expansion of landfill infrastructure. Future phases could include detailed design, permitting, and construction. Contractors specializing in landfill operations, environmental consulting, heavy civil construction, and site preparation could find opportunities as this long-range plan moves forward. Early engagement is advised as planning and analysis are ongoing.
