Considering the debate over the incinerator here in Charleston, this trash can I saw in New Jersey last week sparked my interest.
How? Through burning it? Maybe that’s some of it, but it looks from their own website that Waste Management is already using landfill gas as a power source, including at the BMW factory in Spartanburg. Let’s get that going here.
But this one … Hmmm. The acreage appears accurate, and it’s a commendable move by the company, but wouldn’t a few hundred acres of “habitat” bordering a trash pile encourage wild animals into becoming scavengers? I haven’t done any research on either of these claims, other than WM’s website, but they’re certainly potentially great initiatives.
