Pulau Semakau, Singapore

Pulau Semakau (GPS: 1.20428, 103.76707) is one of the Southern Islands of Singapore. It is located to the south of the Pulau Bukom group, about 8 km from the coast of mainland Singapore.

Pulau Semakau is the site of the first and only remaining landfill in Singapore. To create space for the landfill, a 7-kilometer perimeter rock bund was built in the sea to conjoin Pulau Semakau and Pulau Sakeng. The Semakau Landfill Receiving Station became operational in 1999 and is estimated to last until 2045, but may be extended through waste minimalisation and conservation actions.
