A gravel pit was in the area north of Major Mackenzie, from the CN line to Dufferin Street. This became the Keele Valley Landfill, which was owned and operated by Metropolitan Toronto, and later by the city of Toronto. The landfill began receiving much of the GTA's garbage when the Beare Road Landfill in Scarborough reached capacity and was decommissioned. The Keele Valley Landfill was closed on New Year's Eve 2002 when it reached its capacity. The site has become reserved for the "Eagle's Nest" golf course, and other developments which will occur in the future once the buried waste decomposes sufficiently.
