Landfill
Landfill
º£½Ç»»ÆÞ County Council only sends a small amount of its waste to landfill as it has an Energy Recovery Facility (EnviRecover) which burns the black bin waste to generate electricity. For more information visit the website.
º£½Ç»»ÆÞ County Council monitors closed landfill sites for up to 20 years due to the leachate that is formed by the waste biodegrading over time. Landfill sites are a source of methane and other greenhouse gases which is why keeping waste out of landfill is a priority for º£½Ç»»ÆÞ County Council.
