It will have a daily disposal capacity of 220 tons, servicing the entire Xinle downtown and nearby suburbs with a population of 460,000. With a municipal solid waste decontamination rate of 100%, this landfill will ensure the harmless treatment of Xinle's municipal solid waste for the next 10 years.

This is the first residential solid waste landfill funded by Xinle government. With the rapid economic growth in Xinle, the amount of residential waste is increasing.
