The waste landfill is located at Wacława Street in Sokołów (Michałowice commune). In its immediate vicinity there are storage halls, fields and fast route. It is easy to reach it by leaving the S8 road on the expenses or Janki. Residents do not see this property from their windows, because it is sent by industrial buildings.
