Kariotiškių sąvartynas, Waste management facility near Lentvaris, Lithuania
The landfill site extends over several hectares and contains three million tons of collected waste from the Vilnius region between 1987 and 2008.
The Kariotiškių landfill operated as the main waste disposal site for Vilnius County until its closure in 2008, when operations moved to Kazokiškės facility.
The 2011 documentary film 'Field of Miracles' depicted the lives of people who collected materials at the Kariotiškių landfill site.
The facility now includes an observation deck offering views of Vilnius and houses a thermal power plant that generates energy from landfill gases.
A 2011 incident at the site resulted in 2000 tons of sludge spillage, affecting one hectare of nearby forest area.
