The JED Landfill is a non-hazardous solid waste landfill permitted to meet or exceed federal design and operating criteria included in Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Regulations. Located on 2,179 acres in southwestern Osceola County Florida, it has been in continuous operation for fifteen years.
JED Landfill, along with our parent company, Waste Connections, supports sustainability efforts across the company and the communities we serve. Solid waste landfills over time generate a greenhouse gas, methane, which can be collected and converted into a valuable source of clean energy.
We deploy gas recovery systems, such as the one here at JED, to collect methane that is then used to generate electricity for local households, fuel local industrial plants, power alternative fueled vehicles, or qualify for carbon emission and renewable fuel credits.

Landfill gas is composed of roughly equal parts methane and carbon dioxide and is produced during the waste decomposition process. Landfill gas, which would otherwise be combusted to control emissions under federal rules, can be converted or recycled into electricity. This is process is called waste-to-energy or WTE.
