Episode 56: Don’t Call It a Dump!: Inside a Modern Landfill

Source: Greater New Bedford Regional Refuse Management District In this episode, Gretchen and Waneta talk with Anthony Novelli, executive director of the Greater New Bedford Regional Refuse Management District, about what it takes to operate a modern landfill. From the initial design, to the construction of the liner, to the choices of materials used for daily and intermediate cover, each decision has to ensure that waste is contained, contamination of groundwater is eliminated, and methane gas is controlled – all while efficiently handling the tons of waste delivered each day. Learn how the Crapo Hill landfill meets those challenges and adapts to novel situations to ensure its longevity and serve its community.
