Pitkäsuon täyttömäki, Waste management facility in Petikko district, Vantaa, Finland.
Pitkäsuon täyttömäki is a landfill site in Vantaa that processes surplus earth materials from construction and excavation work. The facility accepts material from both Vantaa and Helsinki, functioning as a municipal waste processing center for the region.
The site received approval from Vantaa City Council in 1987 and began operations in 1989. It was established as a long-term solution for managing surplus earth materials across the two municipalities.
The facility reflects Finnish commitment to systematic waste management through organized municipal cooperation between Helsinki and Vantaa regions.
Before visiting, check accessibility and any restrictions in advance, as this is an active processing facility. The site is primarily designed for vehicle traffic carrying earth materials rather than pedestrian access.
Once filling operations are complete, the site will be transformed into a 120-meter elevated hill designed for recreation. This newly formed landscape feature will be situated next to the Pyymosan Lehto natural reserve, creating a unique outdoor destination.
