The Los Reales Landfill is getting a new nameâand a new mission.
Tucson Mayor Regina Romero and the Tucson City Council voted this week to rename the Los Reales Landfill as the Los Reales Sustainability Campus.
It is part of a larger planning effort to achieve waste reduction goals established by City Council in a Climate Emergency Declaration.
The declaration committed the City of Tucson to reach carbon neutrality by 2030 and to become a zero-waste city by 2050, with an intermediate 50% diversion goal by 2030. The city currently spends more than $8 million per year at Los Reales for waste processing and disposal operations.Â
