Quick Park N Grab on the side of Waldo Rd. You do not have to cross over the ditch, it is not in the woods.
In order to appreciate the nature, parks, art and culture in Gainesville, you have to get to Gainesville. There are other ways to do that than I-75. This is the first in a series of caches celebrating those ways.
Waldo Rd arrives from the northeast and will bring you past the Levada Brown Environmental Park.
The early 1990s addressed the need to close the Southwest Landfill due to limited capacity for the operation. A committee was formed to find a new site. After many long hours and many concerns from residents, the option of opening an Environmental Park and Transfer Station was approved. It was later determined that the waste generated in Alachua County would be hauled to the New River Solid Waste Facility in Raiford, Florida.
During this time, the increased participation in recycling programs lengthened the life of the Southwest Landfill by five years.
In 1997, a private contractor was hired to build the Transfer Station outside of Gainesville on Waldo Road (SR 24). Under the direction of the Public Works Director, construction began in February of 1998. The site would be home to a 27,520 square foot Transfer Station, a 3,000 square foot administration and education building, a scalehouse, and storage space for waste tires and tree debris. Operations are taken care of by approximately 22 employees, with eight tractor-trailers, two grapplers, and a front-end loader. Full operations began in December of 1998.
