On Jun 19 1997 DLEE704@aol.com (any relation to R2D2) asked:
"Does anyone out there have any information on Allied Waste? I would
appreciate it. They have bought the contract rights to a proposed =
landfill
in Anson County, NC."
A great source of information on any large hauling company (back to =
1994) is Waste News. You can access their data bank by company name =
through their web site:

Subject: Methane release from landfills
Dear List Members -
Does anyone have any information on the release into the atmosphere of
methane gas from landfills with active gas extraction systems?
According to one of my colleagues here, a landfill with an active gas
extraction system will have between about 60-80% of the methane
produced extracted by the gas recovery system. However, for the 20-40%
of the gas that does not go through the gas extraction system, not all
is released to the atmosphere because some is treated by
micro-organisms in the soil and thus does not escape into the air.
Does anyone have information on this, either hard data or any
references?
Thanks much; I apologize for cross listings.
