Once of these tools is a sophisticated liquid monitoring system that allows more water to be added to the waste, accelerating decomposition and optimizing methane production. The other tool is a manual process called landfill mining, which serves to retrieve, sort and recycle materials that were not originally diverted and remain after the decomposition process. | (33.214841°, -97.133068°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | ||
