Depends what they're doing with the site, in recent years many
landfill sites near large population centres have been turned into
waste transfer stations and turf grown on top of any existing waste.

Although that site still seems pretty active if you look to the north
west of that location:

You can see what appears to be waste, and dozers and other heavy
machinery tending to it.

Also this area:

Could be a recycling section.

Due to all the potential hazardous waste dumped in past years most
landfills aren't suitable for much else unless they're properly
cleaned up first.
