It looks like that landfill is still in the beginning stages. It's interesting to see how small they start out. That area seems like it would be an easy one to spread dirt over the landfill once it's full to create a park or something. www.arcticbackhoeservices.ca/services.html

This tank read "Gas Heats Best" on the other side, which was visible from the highway in the background. But I m a little confused, does natural gas require tank storage?
Seth Gaines said:
It definitely could be a gas holder. Yes, it is stored in these tanks.
