The Leichner Landfill was the last municipal solid waste landfill that operated in Clark County. The site was previously owned and operated by Leichner Brothers Land Reclamation Company and was permitted to operate as a sanitary landfill, receiving municipal solid waste as well as some construction, demolition, and land clearing waste. The landfill accepted waste from 1937 through 1991 at a site located in the south-central part of the county. Under an order from Washington Department of Ecology, the Leichner Landfill ceased operations on Dec. 31, 1991. Clark County purchased the Leichner Landfill property in 2012 and sold a portion of the property in 2020 to the city of Vancouver for a public works operations center. Clark County currently monitors the closed Leichner Landfill to ensure air and groundwater environmental standards are maintained.
