32 | 12TH ANNUAL BIOCYCLE NATIONWIDE SURVEY THE STATE OF GARBAGE IN AMERICA Nora Goldstein The first installment of BioCycle’s annual survey is focusing solely on the state of the nation’s solid waste — its garbage. And the prognosis is ... more waste generation and plenty of landfill capacity in most regions. Part I |
| 40 | FUTURE OF DISPOSAL REDUCING GREENHOUSE GASES AT LANDFILLS Dave Block Ongoing projects and new discoveries offer a variety of on-site means for reducing greenhouse gases emitted by landfills. Methods include traditional methane recovery, anaerobic and aerobic bioreactors, and application of compost as cover material. |
|
| 41 | GAS-TO-ENERGY PROJECTS | |
| 42 | LANDFILL METHANE OUTREACH PROGRAM | |
| 47 | LANDFILL ALTERNATIVES THE CRISIS OF CLOSING FRESH KILLS Thomas Outerbridge Disposal outside of its boundaries is an obvious necessity when New York City’s Fresh Kills landfill closes. Minimizing the impact of moving out 26,000 tons/day of solid waste is the more immediate challenge. |
|
| 51 | NEW PARADIGM FOR DISPOSAL CONTRACTS WASTE SERVICE PROVIDERS BECOME RESOURCE MANAGERS Paul Ligon, P.N. Mishra and Tom Votta Contractual arrangements are tied to the value of materials recovery and waste minimization rather than the quantities of waste disposed. |

| 67 | ON-SITE COMPOSTING APPLICATIONS LARGE-SCALE CONTAINED COMPOSTING SYSTEMS Robert Rynk While typically used to process feedstocks from multiple generators at a central location, higher capacity systems can be, and in fact are, used for composting food materials on the site of larger volume generators. Part II |

|
73 | WATERSHED PROTECTION ORGANICS PLAY ROLE IN SALMON RECOVERY IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST Sego Jackson, Josh Marx and Holly Wescott For the first time in history, a large urban area will feel the impacts of an Endangered Species Act listing. Managers of organic materials have a unique opportunity to be part of the solution. |
| 76 | COMPOSTER SALES BIN PROMOTIONS MOVE LEAVES FROM CURB TO BACKYARD Molly Farrell Pennsylvania town embraces backyard composting bins, diverting almost 300 tons of leaves from local landfill. |
