Trusted General Contractors in Campbell River, BC

The new landfill will provide economic, social and environmental benefits to the community. The new landfill will be environmentally more solid, safe and sustainable thereby providing further protection. Upland believes in the development of skills and providing training to the members of the local community. The new landfill will open up a lot of opportunities for local contractors and talent.

Upland has conducted several community consultation meetings to understand concerns and receive feedback. We have also engaged local groups, First Nations and local Environmental NGOs to discuss how the upgraded facility would be constructed and how it would benefit the area. All concerns and feedback was further investigated and analyzed to make relevant amendments to the studies and designs.

The landfill will mostly remain covered, only the area being worked open will stay open. Landfill contents will not overflow as there is enormous capacity for storage within leachate ponds and liners.

Timber placed into the Uplands landfill came from a dam demolition project on the Salmon River. It had been submerged in the Salmon River for more than 60 years.
