Denali's mine reclamation projects are a prime example of how Class A Biosolids can be utilized to transform barren, desolate landscapes back into flourishing ecosystems. What a fantastic presentation at the Northeast Residuals & Biosolids Conference!

Toxic landfill fires are more common than you might think. According to Blackstone (2020) there are more than 8000 landfill fires in North America each year. Sometimes, like the 2022 Alabama landfill fire, these are very public affairs. But usually these events go largely unreported outside of the local, often minority and low income, communities that are impacted by the toxic releases. We focus on the global impact of landfilling waste, but there is a real local environmental impact too (even when they are not on fire). We should hear the voices of those communities. #landfill #stoplandfill #methane

🗑Do you know where your trash goes? Our Trash Lives Next to this Community is a recent podcast episode from The Broadside by Anisa Khalifa and Charlie Shelton-Ormond from North Carolina Public Radio-WUNC that highlights stories from the community of Snow Hill. The residents of Snow Hill, once a thriving Black community in Sampson County North Carolina, live next to the largest landfill in the state. It covers approximately 1400 acres and although some waste is prohibited (flammable materials, factory farm waste, tires, vehicles, etc.), some residents have witnessed these items being dumped there. Though the landfill currently complies with its permits, some argue the laws are not strong enough and do not account for cumulative impacts. For example, in addition to the landfill, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports is the second largest methane emitter among landfills across the U.S., there are many factory-scale livestock production facilities in the area. And high levels of PFAS have been found in wells around the landfill. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality has been brought in to test for PFAS and drinking water safety, and methane capture technology, which would generate electricity from the methane emitted from the landfill, has been proposed. However, many residents, who protested the siting of the landfill from the beginning, see these efforts as greenwashing and want the landfill closed. It is not projected to be full for another 20 years.

Is a landfill an asset? The number of landfills in the U.S. is decreasing, resulting in dwindling airspace available to hold our waste. If you own a landfill, you must ask, “Is my landfill an asset or a liability?” - The answer is “yes, it is an asset”. #beneficialreuse #bottomash #CCP #CCR #CoalAsh #EnvironmentalRemediation #environmentalstewardship #federalregulation #innovation #mechanciallystabilizedearth #powerindustry #wasteindustry #airspace #ImpactedSoil https://lnkd.in/e8wxsciF

Day 17 of #30DayCompostContentChallenge (6 days in a row for me) Considering the abundance of brownfields in Detroit from abandoned factories and other past endeavors, I have a question : Should compost be a mandatory component of the remediation process? It seems compost could help with the process. Creating a healthier soil and environment. A greener city overall. Just a thought. #CompostRevitalization #DetroitBrownfields" #30c #makecompostmainstream.

At ResourceCo we’re in the business of breaking down various streams of waste material. When breaking down the elements of this seemingly straightforward photo, we can see the depth and breadth of our resource recovery network. 🗺 The Location: ResourceCo’s Oaklands fill site, one of our multiple fill sites across the country where we rehabilitate and improve landscapes. ♻ The Material: ResourceCo’s R20 mulch, produced at our Brooklyn facility. 🚚 The Truck: One of ResourceCo’s managed fleet of 1,000+ vehicles. 🌏 The Environmental Improvement: This mulch is being used as part of stage one of our site revegetation works which will see 5,000 plantings in the ground 🌲 As the saying goes, 'a picture is worth a thousand words’, and this sunrise photo is no exception! #resourcerecovery #circulareconomy #recycling #sustainability

Tillamook & Boardman Oregon: Week 2: The team with cohesion and complementing strengths can make fieldwork smooth and enjoyable. Even though I traveled over 800 miles this week, it was a lesson in pacing myself and enjoying the slow times of field work between the fast. ♻️ “The waste characterization study will provide critical data in determining future solid waste disposal and diversion options.” #reduce #reuse #recycle #wastemitigation #wastecharacterization #wastemanagement #fieldworkjournal
