On-Site Landfill Leachate Treatment Solutions

Heartland is dedicated to providing innovative waste management solutions, focusing on onsite landfill leachate treatment. Their approach is tailored to handle the complexities of modern leachate, which contains contaminants like PFAS, VOCs, and ammonia. Heartland offers systems designed to effectively reduce and treat high-strength waste streams onsite, addressing regulatory and environmental challenges. By treating over 95% of leachate volume, Heartland significantly cuts operational costs related to offsite treatment and hauling. Their modular systems integrate with existing leachate infrastructure, ensuring adaptability to site-specific challenges such as limited space and unpredictable waste flows. Adopting an Evaporation-as-a-Service model, they shift costs from capital expenses to manageable operational expenses, providing a predictable financial framework for landfill operators. Whether dealing with municipal or regional waste, Heartland's solutions ensure compliance and sustainable waste management, fostering long-term environmental responsibility.

Leachate management that puts you back in control

Leachate isn’t just another waste stream. It changes daily with rainfall, temperature, and waste makeup. Without a proactive leachate management strategy, landfill operators face rising costs, unpredictable volumes, and tighter scrutiny from regulators.

When facilities rely on external hauling or POTW capacity, they give up control. Disposal routes can disappear overnight. POTWs may refuse to accept leachate, leaving no outlet for disposal. Delays, cost spikes, and hauling constraints become everyday risks. Heartland gives that control back.

We help you stay ahead of leachate level fluctuations and compliance pressures with a solution designed to fit the rhythm of landfill operation—not work against it.

On-site life of the landfill leachate solution

An estimated 16 billion gallons of landfill leachate are generated annually in the US, with 62% of landfills disposing of leachate at POTWs (Publicly Owned Treatment Works). As regulatory pressures rise and POTWs cut off leachate, Heartland offers a complete on-site landfill leachate treatment solution. Our proven approach reduces volume, eliminates off-site treatment, eases cost burdens and regulatory pressures, and minimizes uncertainty for landfill operations.

Cut leachate costs without cutting corners

Most landfills underestimate the full cost of off-site leachate treatment. Hauling fees, rising tipping rates, emergency transport, and labor hours add up fast. These hidden costs increase the total waste management burden and strain operational resources.

Heartland’s on-site systems reduce the total volume of treated leachate by over 95%. This sharp reduction cuts thousands in recurring costs each month. By shrinking the leachate generation footprint, landfills streamline their waste treatment approach while protecting long-term sustainability.

With a long-term, fixed pricing model, we eliminate budget surprises. Forecasting becomes easier, and your team can plan confidently without scrambling to cover fluctuating costs.

Built for today’s leachate—not last decade’s

Landfill leachate has changed. Modern leachate contains PFAS, VOCs, ammonia, and other emerging contaminants that traditional leachate treatment technologies can’t handle effectively.

Heartland offers leachate treatment technology for what landfills face now. Our systems deliver proven performance against high-strength waste streams and provide secure containment for concentrated PFAS. Landfill gas, weather impacts, and evolving permit conditions all factor into how we engineer treatment technologies that stay ahead of regulatory curves.

When regulators demand more, legacy systems can’t adapt fast enough. Heartland’s advanced leachate treatment systems meet today’s standards with scalable, modular solutions. We also align our systems with broader wastewater treatment strategies, helping facilities manage leachate and other complex liquid waste streams on-site.

Custom leachate systems that fit your site and your budget

Every municipal landfill leachate site brings unique challenges, including limited space, unpredictable flows, and restricted capex budgets. Heartland addresses all of them.

We don’t sell boxed solutions. Our modular designs scale to your footprint and integrate with existing leachate collection systems. The Evaporation-as-a-Service model shifts costs from capital expenditure to manageable operational spending.

Heartland’s team of leachate management specialists handles everything: site assessment, system design, installation, and continuous optimization. Whether you manage solid waste at a regional facility or handle municipal solid waste for a county landfill, we tailor your system to reduce environmental pollution control risks and keep your leachate treatment running reliably.
