Surface Water Management Plan
To reduce the potential for leachate generation, we’ve created an effective surface water management plan to greatly minimize infiltration of water at our landfill. We do this by progressively covering and capping the site with low permeability soils as the site is filled, using a surface grading design that promotes runoff while maximizing evaporation, seeding […]
Stuff You Never Knew You Could Compost
At AEL, we have a strange tendency to think about unusual ways to reduce our waste and recycle stuff. Call us odd but we’ve been considering the things we compost (fruit, vegetable peels, leaves, grass clippings) and what could be added to the list to help stop waste (I wanted to say pile, but held […]
Brand New Water Truck
Check out our awesome new water truck. It looks like a haul truck, but instead of a bed where dirt would ordinarily go, it has a tank to hold 8000 gallons of water!! We love it and so do our customers. The truck is one of kind marvel: not only is it new, but it […]

Using Trash to Turn on the Lights
No question Oklahoma needs energy. And, lots of it. As a company focused on Tulsa’s future, American Environmental Landfill is meeting this need by using non-recyclable waste we collect every day to generate power for the community. How much power? Today, we’re generating enough electricity to power over 4800 homes across Green Country! Not only […]
Our Liner Design
Our liner is a crucial element of the total landfill design process and ensures the absolute upmost in environmental protection. The purpose of any liner is to prevent migration of leachate from the site. Leachate is the result of water that has percolated through the waste and is a potential pollutant if it is not […]
A Little Landfill Buzz
AEL continues to look for ways it can improve its environment and make the community a better place to live. Our company even owns several beehives at the landfill that produce two different types of honey. An official bee caretaker takes care of the hives, and visitors are often given a taste of the “landfill […]
Security Matters
At AEL, we care a great deal about protecting our grounds against unauthorized waste dumping. That’s why we’ve come up with several safeguards to make sure it doesn’t happen. Strong security fences and locked gates stop intruders from entering when the site is closed. The scale house is also equipped with a digital infra-red camera […]
