Follow up visit to Kilgarth Landfill Site

A further visit to the Kilgarth Landfill site, near Coatbridge, on 26th August, provided an opportunity to review the outcome of the works to cap the area and activity taking place there. It is a former landfill owned by Glasgow City Council.

A greenspace area with a lake next to the landfill site provides a wildlife habitat.

Grassland area covered the landfill site.

There is ongoing monitoring of the site including management of methane taking place and the recreational use by the public. Further updates will be required on the methane generated from the site, the findings of any wildlife surveys, and the maintenance plan for the site.
