Both AOC 4 and 18 are located within the bounds of the Shepleys Hill Landfill. landfill operations at Shepleys Hill landfill began at least as early as 1917 and stopped as of July 1, 1992. The landfill received household and military refuse, and during its last few years of use, operated using the modified trench method.
