Visit Semakau Landfill

This is a unique offshore landfill (tempat buang sampah) with scenic landscaping and vibrant biodiversity - picture below.


Have you ever wondered where the waste goes after it's removed? I do...
About 2.38 million tonnes or 92.7% of the refuse was incinerated while the remaining refuse was landfilled in Singapore.

The average amount of domestic refuse generated per person per day in 2007 was 0.88 kg. So, a total of 2.57 million tonnes of waste was disposed in 2007 - 58% from residential premises, food centres and markets, and 42% from commercial and industrial premises. This island was estimated to be fully filled by year 2045. So, what will happen and where is the next dispose area after year 2045?? Ladies & gentlemen, please be responsible with your own wastes and 'go green' at all times ^-^.



There are quite a number of us + childrens visited this place on 6 June (Fri), from 1:30 pm ~ 5:30 pm. Yes, we definitely have to take a ferry across. My photo with the kids!!!
