In the past, Singapore had many small landfills scattered over various parts of the island, and each quickly filled up after the last. The project team searched the whole of Singapore for a suitable landfill site for the long term, but there were none. Eventually, they looked for options offshore as the precious land on mainland Singapore was needed for housing, commercial and industrial development and recreation. This led to the Phase I development of Semakau Landfill which began in 1995, wher

Following rapid urbanisation and economic development since Singapore’s independence in the 1960s, the amount of waste disposed of on our island has increased about 7 fold over the past 40 years. In 2010, NEA embarked on the Phase II development of Semakau Landfill which uses a single landfill cell instead of a multi-cell design in Phase I, as this maximises the landfill capacity to nearly 5,800 Olympic-size swimming pools. The idea of a single landfill cell was not considered previously, as it

"If you don't study hard, you will end up collecting rubbish!" For Jeffrey, a Senior Engineer at National Environment Agency (NEA)'s Tuas Marine Transfer Station, this was something his mum would tell him when he was younger.

Singapore's only landfill, Semakau Landfill, is fast filling up. At our current rate of waste production, she will only last till 2035. It is not sustainable to build more landfills. The cycle will only repeat itself. The time is now. We need to adjust our lifestyle and make sustainable choices! #SaveSemakau #TowardsZeroWaste | Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment
