Sanitary Landfills SANITARY LANDFILLS Report by Jiggy Manicad The construction of sanitary landfills in some areas of the country was seen to address the problems of waste management. But according to the environmental group, Kalikasan People's Network for the Environment, these landfills not only defeat their purpose but pose serious problems as well. Some landfills are located near residential areas while others are situated in protected areas. Some have also been rendered useless or defective. Critics also say that these projects may have been cash cows for unscrupulous individuals. Is there truth to these allegations?

Recycling Myths It makes sense to recycle some things. But the process of recycling most items that people currently engage in, actually wastes more resources than it saves.

Landfill Earth Four students (Daniel Bittman, Steven "Attenborough" Dixon, Averil Parent and Shael Rotman) from the University of Western Ontario put together a short film in an effort to shed light on the results of our current consumption patterns, and how far too much of what we purchase ends up in landfills. Although recycling has become a primary effort to stall landfill growth, we must all remember that the first R is REDUCE. It's time to change our consumption patterns to reflect this simple principle.

How landfills are built and operated According to the EPA, the average American produces about four pounds of garbage per day. That's around three quarters of a ton over the course of a year. The trash that doesn't get composted or recycled inevitably ends up in a landfill. At modern facilities such as the Middle*** County landfill in East Brunswick, massive underground liner systems are built to capture leachate to help eliminate the potential impact to the environment. Methane gas which is produced during the decomposition of trash, is captured and reused to create electricity at the County's Wastewater Treatment Plant. (Video by Andre Malok / The Star-Ledger)

Allied Waste Roosevelt Regional Landfill Allied Wastes Roosevelt Regional Landfill was one of the nations first landfills to be designed, built and operated to support a landfill gas power plant. It is one of the largest producers of landfill gas energy in the United States, absorbing more than 2.5 million tons of waste annually to generate electrical power.The gas to energy plant has been in operation at the Roosevelt Regional Landfill since 1999, and for the last 5 years has produced 10 megawatts of energy annually, enough to power 7000 homes.Currently, Roosevelt Regional Landfill, located in Klickitat County, Washington, receives waste from Washington, Oregon,Canada and Alaska, and produces safe and reliable green energy for Washington residents and businesses. The facility is expected to continue producing green energy for at least 60 more years.

IMPUMELELO INNOVATIONS: Durban Landfill Gas to Electricity Project South Africa generates 40 million tons of solid waste every year. There are about 1 200 landfills in South Africa that are environmental eyesores, releasing massive amounts of methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. To address this, the e'Thekwini Municipality is currently spearheading Africa's first landfill gas to electricity project at the Bisasar Road Landfill, in Durban. Through its pioneering efforts, this project demonstrates to South African municipalities that City Council's have to spend money in order to generate money by processing landfill waste into renewable energy. This a Platinum Impumelelo Award-Winner in 2010.

Landfill Power: Turning Gas into Energy Renewable energy comes from landfills. Waste Management produces enough energy from its landfills to power over 400000 homes. Through a process called "landfill-gas-to-energy", we are ensuring that the waste we collect does not necessarily go to waste.

Environmental Benefits of Altamont Landfill LNG Nestled in the hills of the Altamont Pass near Livermore, California, the award-winning Altamont Landfill and Resource Recovery Facility is one of the most sophisticated landfill operations in the country. It is closing the loop on waste using advanced technology and sustainable practices, including the following: Landfill Gas to Energy: The Altamont was an early adopter of landfill gas capture and conversion to energy. Since 1987 it has been producing enough green electricity to power nearly 8000 homes annually. "Closed Loop" Fuel: In 2009 Waste Management opened the world's largest landfill gas to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant at the Altamont. For the next 25 years without another morsel of organic material entering the landfill, the Altamont will produce more than 10000 gallons a day of ultra low-carbon natural gas from the existing organic waste-in-place. Harnessing the gas from trash is the ultimate "closed loop" approach to managing historic waste streams. Altamont LNG is currently powering more than 300 of Waste Management's growing fleet of alternative fuel collection vehicles in California. Reduced Carbon Footprint: Altamont LNG has the lowest carbon density of any fuel available today -- about 85% lower than either gasoline or diesel according to the California Air Resources Board. Use of Altamont LNG is estimated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 30000 tons a year. The carbon footprint of a solid waste collection vehicle running on Altamont bio ...

BP Dumping Oil Waste In Mississippi Landfills [BP Does Whatever The F*** They Want To] Pecan Grove, Harrison County, Mississippi: Harrison County Supervisor Connie Rocko: Despite literally MILLIONS of ideas being floated by private citizens, non-profit groups, and foreign countries on how to clean up and contain the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, BP decided they would rather fill American landfills with their mess. BP refuses to even consider ideas on how to handle the situation, many of which have been proven to be effective and successful. Harrison County leaders do not approve but BP is still dumping in local landfills and local residents and officials are preparing subpoenas... demanding BP appear before their Harrison County Board of Supervisors.

Demolition Recycling Reduces Load on Landfills Kaiser Permanente's commitment to responsible and sustainable construction practices is visible well before foundations are poured for new buildings. When workers demolish old structures, they separate for recycling metals, concrete, asphalt, and other materials. For example, 96 percent of the debris from the demolished buildings at the site of the new Oakland (Calif.) Medical Center was recycled and diverted from landfills. For more information about Kaiser Permanente's commitment to sustainability, go to /green.

Cat Generator Sets: How Renewable Landfill Energy Works Modern landfills are required to install gas collection systems to capture and destroy the methane gasses that are naturally produced within a landfill. These gases are burned in a flare. Rather than eliminating landfill gas by simply burning it off, Caterpillar can help you turn it into a renewable fuel by providing gas-fueled engine-generators that can produce electric power from landfill gas.

Waste to Energy -- An Overview See The saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure" is coming true in the waste-to-energy field. With some landfills overflowing, much real estate at a premium, groundwater and air pollution concerns, and fossil fuel scarcity concerns; methods of turning refuse into fuel or electricity are attractive for many reasons. Who would have ever thought that junk and sewage could be cost-effectively turned into a valuable commodity? It turns out that there are several approaches being developed -- and even some already in commercial operation -- that, with tipping fees, can turn a profit from turning garbage and sewage into electricity and fuel. According to their Vice President, Lynn Brown, Waste Management, the company the comes around to haul off garbage, is increasingly turning some of that garbage into energy -- enough to power over one million homes -- the equivalent of 14 million barrels of oil per year or 3.6 million tons of coal. And the company has a goal to double that amount to 2 million homes by 2020. ( Some landfills now capture the methane that comes out of the buried trash, which used to escape into the atmosphere as a potent greenhouse gas. Instead, they now burn this methane to run generators. Solar Hydrogen Energy Corporation (SHEC Labs) has developed a process that uses solar energy to convert this methane into hydrogen, and expect that within 5 years they will compete with the cheapest sources of Hydrogen.

GM Landfills Go Green to the Extreme GM Landfills Go Green to the Extreme Major US Auto Manufacturer Creates a Zero Waste Movement As the push to be environmentally conscious increases, many of us try to practice what we preach - reduce-reuse-recycle. But according to the Environmental Protection Agency, 55 percent of everyday garbage and trash still ends up in giant landfills across the US Now, a new extreme form of "going green," called "landfill free," is changing the landscape. Companies like Anheuser-Busch, Subaru and General Motors have committed themselves to a landfill free manufacturing process - meaning all the materials generated as a result of regular production operations are either recycled or reused in some way. Today, twelve of GM's US plants and 43 worldwide have achieved landfill free status. At these plants, everything from aluminum chips to plastic trays to used gloves are recycled and reused - eliminating nearly 8000 tons of waste a year. The environmental benefits of just one of these plants' waste recycling efforts include the prevention of over 44000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions being emitted into the atmosphere and the preservation of over 3000 mature trees annually. Increasing and improving environmental awareness is not a one man job. To achieve zero-landfill goals, companies often work with recyclers like Goodwill. These partners work to remove waste, turn it into usable parts and find homes for the products - all while creating needed jobs and a better environment.

Lyns SPP-LFD landfill recycling plant recovers landfill discards as recyclable commodities Today, most landfills (LFD) are separated into non-flammable and flammable waste. The flammable is disposed in incinerators and non-flammable is recycled or buried again. This type of waste management is costly due to transportation, incinerating and fill fees. In addition the recyclable material cannot be converted into reusable materials. The SPP-LFD Series recycles most of the waste and the landfill can then be used for other purposes. The Organic Matter (kitchen waste, paper, garden waste) will compost over years and the Plastic Waste is recovered by the SPP-LFD and is separated into light plastic (PE,PP) and heavy plastic (PVC,PET,OPP). The light plastic is then processed into plastic film and heavy plastic is processed into refuse derived fuel (RDF). By utilising the SPP Series the environmental and economic impact of MSW disposal is considerably less than traditional methods as only a fraction of the waste is incinerated or placed in landfills.

How Honda Achieved Zero Waste to Landfill Honda has achieved one of the most important targets in the company's longstanding "Green Factory" initiative in North America: zero-waste-to-landfill. Ten of 14 Honda manufacturing plants in North America are now operating with zero waste to landfill, while the remaining four plants are functioning with "virtually zero" waste to landfill. Waste sent to landfills has been dramatically reduced at Honda auto plants throughout North America—from 62.8 pounds of industrial waste to landfills for every automobile produced in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001(FY2001), to an estimated 1.8 pounds per automobile in the current fiscal year 2012. Among all of its 14 plants in North America, Honda now sends less than one-half of 1 percent of all operating waste to landfills. Remaining waste product is either recycled or used for energy recovery. Many of the waste-reduction and recycling activities were undertaken through Honda's associate involvement programs, including its "NH Circle" quality circles, where teams of associates throughout the company engage in an annual competition to improve Honda's value to its customers and society, with a strong focus on efficiency, cost and waste reduction.

The Future of Landfill Gas & Biogas Biomethane has big potential says award winner Biomethane can provide over one sixth of all UK residential heat by 2020 and vehicle fuel. Rapid development of Biomethane to Grid is necessary and for carbon offsetting, biomethane vehicle fuel presents the best of all potential biogas uses. It can meet the required increase in renewable electricity, heat and fuel production to achieve the 15 percent renewable energy target set by the European Union for 2020. However, UK regulatory and financial barriers need to be overcome and the UK can learn from substantial progress made in Sweden, Germany and Denmark. So says the winner of the 2010 CIWM Geotech Bursary, Russell Harwood, in his paper presented at the CIWM Professional Awards in October 2010. The award is open to all and offers a £1500 bursary to the winner with the best proposal for a paper entitled: The Future Roles of Landfill Gas and Biogas. Entry deadline: 1st March 2011, details from: Harwood considers that landfill gas combustion using spark ignition engines will continue to play a key role in the renewable energy mix up to 2020. In the future, he suggests, microturbines can succeed spark ignition engines, at landfills with low methane gas concentrations, to extend gas extraction lifetime. According to Harwood, generating hydrogen from landfill gas and biogas for direct use in fuel cells is still commercially undeveloped. However he says it is expected to become more commercially viable within the ...

NetworkNewsToday: EGYPT: RECYCLING LANDFILL, ORGANIC COMPOST, METHANE GAS CAPTURE (THE WORLD BANK) NetworkNewsToday: 19 December 2009 - The World Bank: Egypt: Egypt is managing waste by recycling solids like glass and metal, making compost from kitchen waste and capture and combustion of methane from landfills. Tons of trash from Cairo, Africas biggest metropolis is dumped at this facility south of the city every day. It is the end of the line and the start of a new one. Workers sort the garbage, taking out glass, paper, and plastics. A magnet sucks metal off the belt: these will be recycled and sold. Kitchen scraps and plants are piled into windrows and turned into compost that is sold to farmers. Cairo is aiming to treat 90 percent of its waste this way. SOUNDBITE (English) Fayez Mekhail, engineer, ECARU: Garbage is a treasure, if the men try to get benefit from it, so its very important for us in Egypt to get use from garbage and benefits from compost. But garbage disposal also can cause pollution, releasing gases such as methane that add to global warming. Work is underway in Egypt to put less in landfills by reusing more trash and by the capture and combustion of methane from the waste that is sent to landfills. With the World Bank as broker, this solid waste facility will be the first in Egypt to sell carbon credits to industrialized nations for recycling and composting. If they were just to put all of the garbage that is being reused into a landfill, it would release the equivalent of just over 500000 tons of emissions over seven years. The facility also makes ...

Stop Landfills Stop LANDFILLS (2.25min) Camapign and Education Video Waste is a symbol of inefficiency. We want to get away from it or want to hide it. But it follows us and makes us swallow it. With waste come other thugs to scavenge on it. They can be expressed as "Corruption (bureaucracy + politicians + business + scientists) = Disaster (people + environment + economy + justice + culture)" This is the result of wrong perceptions or notions about waste. Wrong questions always fetch wrong answers. End of the pipe solutions like landfills, incineration or centralised waste management will not solve the issue of waste. This movie was shot at Vilappilsala a beautiful village lying on the spur hills of Western Ghats. Thiruvananthapuram City Corporation -- the capital city of Kerala -- started a centralised mixed waste management facility in this village despite of protests and warning from all walks of life in 2000. In two years it proved to be a wrong choice and decision which led to the failure of the project. In 2005 the Govt. also acknowledged that it is a failure. By this time about 200000 metric tonnes of discards from composting process have been piled up in the opening of the valley where a stream originates and joins the river which feeds drinking water for the city and surrounding villages. To hide that great blunder the authority have decided to 'cap' it, a kind of land filling of waste 'as and where it is'. Besides this the Government also decided to compensate the private ...
