Two - Stage AnMBR for Removal of UV Quenching Organic Carbon from Landfill Leachates: Feasibility and Microbial Community Analyses
Landfilling is the most widely used method for the disposal of municipal solid wastes (MSW) in the United States due to its simplicity and low cost. According to the 2014 report on Advancing Sustainable Materials Management by the USEPA, only 34% of the total MSW generated in the US was recycled, …

Why Landfills Endure: Quantifying economic barriers to material and energy recovery from municipal solid waste in the United States
… diversion exceed the revenues lost from avoided landfilling. Targeted processing of organic wastes can facilitate an average diversion of 24% for the compositions surveyed and was found to be viable for composting and dry anaerobic digestion projects at low to negligible financial losses compared …

Hydraulic conductivity and chemical compatibility of some Victorian soils used as liners for waste containment
… their safe and economical disposal is warranted. Landfilling of these wastes is still the most widely practised and viable alternative for their disposal. This is usually accomplished by using engineered waste containment systems in which compacted liners of predominantly clay soils are employed …

Life cycle analysis of waste management options for EBI in Quebec
… all waste management facilities to ban the landfilling of organic waste by 2020. EBI is considering Anaerobic Digestion as one of its alternative options, but is uncertain if it is the correct choice given its high costs. This thesis compares four alternative waste management options for EBI …

Developing a cost effective construction and demolition waste management plan
… part of any construction project. Historically, landfilling waste materials was the standard solution for most contractors, but as tipping fees have risen dramatically over the past five to seven years, many contractors are looking for alternative methods, such as recycling or waste minimization, …
