Recycling or Landfilling?Energy costs are going through the roof. Biomass could be an excellent renewable energy alternative to fossil fuel. However, much of this energy source is still going to landfills - in spite of waste laws that require diversion of at least 50% of waste away from landfills. Why is this allowed? Because of a recycling loophole that allows thousands of tons of green waste - yard and landscape clippings - to be dumped in landfills. This loophole says this green waste has been "recycled"! The loophole is called "ADC", Alternative Daily Cover. Every landfill is required to cover their waste with dirt every day - "cover". This reduces smell and vermin problems. However, getting enough dirt can be a problem, so landfills are allowed to use "alternative cover". For example, some landfills use tarps, and others have experimented with foam. What else is allowed for ADC? Green waste biomass! This biomass, that could be used for compost or renewable energy, is buried in the landfill. How much is buried? According to the California Waste Management Board, about 2.3 million tons in 2003 - twice as much as in 1998. That much biomass could provide up to 300 Megawatts of renewable energy, enough to provide half the power requirements of a city like Anaheim, California. More links on the problem:
