Waste Management welcomes you to the Covel Gardens Landfill. You are about to embark on a virtual tour of a state-of-the-art solid waste disposal facility. Many people are aware that landfills exist but very few are familiar with just how much care goes into the design, construction and operation of landfills. It is our intent to provide you with an up-close look behind the scenes of what goes on both at the landfill and in the surrounding community.

One of only two solid waste disposal sites serving the San Antonio area, Covel Gardens provides an essential service to the greater Bexar County region and is well positioned to meet the long-term needs of the area as it continues to realize dramatic economic growth.

Prior to Covel Gardens opening for business Waste Management made a commitment to be a good corporate citizen and to provide support to community programs especially in the neighborhoods near the landfill. Waste Management has kept those commitments and takes great pride in the community programs adopted and implemented since 1993. See our section on Community Involvement for more information.
