Britannia Landfill
Britannia Landfill, now BraeBen Golf Course, and previously Britannia Hills Golf Course was a garbage dump located in the city of Mississauga and later transformed into a golf course. The site is located on Terry Fox Way south of Britannia Road West.
Opened in 1980 by Peel Region, the 200-acre (0.81 km2) site took garbage from Peel and Metro Toronto. It closed in 2002 and was used to create a 27 hole golf course.
The City of Mississauga has a 99-year lease on the facility. Gases from the dump are to be used to generate electricity.
Other GTA landfills include:
- Beare Road Landfill in Toronto, Ontario
- Keele Valley Landfill in Vaughan, Ontario
