TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Tucson’s Los Reales Landfill has a new name, but the change is only the first step in an effort to completely restructure the facility into an environmentally conscious resource.
The Tucson City Council voted unanimously July 7 to rename the landfill to “Los Reales Sustainability Campus” as the facility takes on the goal of achieving zero waste.
The move supports the council s 2020 climate emergency declaration which committed Tucson to become a zero waste city by 2050 and reach carbon neutrality by 2030.
“We have been really trying to look at the Los Reales Landfill as a space for innovation and sustainability,” Mayor Regina Romero said. “In order to become a zero waste city, we really have to reimagine and think about our landfill in a different way.”
