Landfill Free Certified

Using a landfill site for the disposal of waste materials is one of the oldest forms of waste treatment.  There are many inherent issues with operating a landfill: 

• Damage to the infrastructure
• Pollution of the local environment
• Off-gassing of methane generated by dying organic waste
• Harboring of disease carriers such as rats and flies
• Injuries to wildlife
• General Nuisance including dust, odor and vermin

Sustainable Waste Solutions offers environmental sustainability programs with the objective of becoming Landfill Free.  Residual and municipal waste is reused, recycled or processed as a renewable fuel at an energy-from waste facility.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has stated that energy-from-waste plants are a "clean, reliable, renewable source of energy" that "produce electricity with less environmental impact than almost any other source of electricity."
