The Stswékstem Engineered Waste Management Facility, located at 801 Strawberry Hill Lane, is a project in partnership with Grassland Organics. The newly designed facility's key features of the operation include:
Waste management services available to the community at the Stswékstem Engineered Waste Management Facility include:

The environmental management plan also includes a monitoring and compliance component to ensure all mitigation measures are effective.
The existing TteS landfill was constructed in 1960 without a liner system or other engineered controls to manage potential environmental impacts. This facility will be closed using an engineered cap system while the new facility is being developed. No disruption to services for TteS members will occur during the closure phase.
