OSTI ID:6077739

The Putnam County landfill situation is becoming critical with only 18 months of usable space remaining before a decision must be made regarding expansion of the landfill. This resource recovery feasibility study offers possible alternatives to landfilling by describing various ways in which municipal solid waste could become a usable fuel source. The present solid waste disposal operation is described and various options available in the area of resource recovery are outlined. Cost estimates are also included.
