Landfill Technical Data

The LMOP Landfill and Landfill Gas Energy Project Database (LMOP Database) contains information such as physical address, latitude and longitude, owner/operator organization, operational status, year opened, actual or expected closure year, design capacity, amount of waste in place, gas collection system status and landfill gas (LFG) collected amount for more than 2,600 municipal solid waste landfills. For landfills that report under EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP), LMOP cross-references that dataset by including GHGRP’s 7-digit Facility Identifier.

Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program

EPA makes greenhouse gas (GHG) data available to the public through its Facility Level Information on GreenHouse gases Tool (FLIGHT). FLIGHT allows you to quickly and easily filter GHG data in a variety of ways, including by facility, industry, location, or gas.

Learn more about EPA's GHGRP.

Landfill Data Files [March 2023]

The first two Excel files here provide two full lists of all landfills in the LMOP Database (one with and one without project-level data), while the third file lists only those landfills categorized by LMOP as "candidates" for LFG energy project development.
