Making the most of your landfill

When it comes to landfills, technology is opening many doors both reducing the amount of material going into a landfill and the harvesting of resources from a landfill. Making the most of the landfill as a resource includes taking care in the filling. Soil layers from daily cover or intermediate cover take up valuable space, reducing the amount of material coming in, reducing the amount of compaction a landfill can achieve, and often interfering with the movement of leachate and gas.

Reducing the amount of soil going into landfill cells opens the door to greater revenues. Moving soil can be a significant expense in terms of manpower, equipment, and fuel use.

At Wastecon coming up in August we will be serving up dirt at our booth #609. Stop by and have a cup, and talk with us about your landfill. We'd love to learn what you are doing to make the most of your resource.
