The Sainte Sophie Landfill', is a landfill in Ste. Sophie, Quebec, near Montreal Canada. It has been operated by Intersan since 1997 and open for 11 years, collects approximately 850,000 metric tonnes (937,000 tons) annually. The bioreactor landfill is located on a 30-acre (120,000 m2), double-lined corner of the permitted landfill site. Along with the Lachenaie landfill, these dumps collect garbage for the Greater Montreal Area.
The Sainte-Sophie Landfill consists of 736 acres (2.98 km2) approximately 50 kilometers north of Montreal, Quebec. It is located on 2535 Premiere rue, Ste Sophie, QC J5J 2R7. Its hours are Monday - Friday 4:00 am to 6:00 pm.
The site has a gas-to-energy project with Gaz Metro, Quebec's leading natural gas distributor, and Cascades Inc., one of Canada's largest pulp and paper companies. By using these techniques, waste capacity in a typical landfill can be increased by at least 15 to 30 percent.
In 2003, Waste Management implemented a bioreactor operation at the Sainte Sophie Landfill - a method of increasing the moisture content of the landfill waste to speed up decomposition and thus produce gas more quickly - to test the environmental and economic benefits of the technology.
In 2005, The Government of Quebec approved the expansion of the Sainte-Sophie landfill. The expansion gives the landfill an annual capacity of one million tonnes per year.
