[USCC] Landfill

[hirschsys@aol.com]

For future discusions:

As active landfills put in gas collection systems they sometimes claim to now be a recycling option because they capture?some of the methane.? This has actually caused the closing of some good composting operations due to yard trimmings being diverted back into landfills.

Does someone have the?statistics on this subject?? Estimates of the carbon going into a landfill would be fairly?easy to calculate, the captured methane coming out is measureable.? An estimate of how long a landfill will continue to produce is? available so therefore an efficiency should?have been calculated.? I am sure it has , I just don't remember it.

Could someone from the compost?group help me on this.???

Thank you
