How to Sustain Your Landfill

Combining mining, recycling and cell reuse with an aerobic (bioreactor) landfill creates a sustainable landfill, according to its creators, Environmental Control Systems (ECS). The most significant feature of ECS's patented, sustainable landfill is the rapid turnover at which the aerobic landfill degrades and readies waste for an end-use after excavation from the cell. This approach will handle increasing waste volumes, offset construction and permitting costs, significantly reduce methane generation and offsite leachate disposal, and limit the need for landfill closures, according to ECS.
