Outer Loop Landfill, Kentucky – Enhancing Waste Stabilization and Space Efficiency

The Outer Loop Landfill in Kentucky faced significant challenges with space utilization and waste stabilization. Traditional landfill methods were proving inefficient, with slow decomposition rates leading to long-term environmental risks. TGD Environmental implemented the ALBS technology to address these issues.

• Results:
  • Space Utilization: The ALBS system accelerated waste decomposition, allowing for a 25% increase in landfill capacity due to more rapid waste settlement.
  • Environmental Impact: Methane emissions were reduced by 70%, contributing to the state’s efforts to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Operational Efficiency: The site saw a reduction in operational costs due to improved leachate management and reduced long-term monitoring needs.
  • Community Relations: The project improved the landfill’s reputation among local residents, with fewer complaints about odors and environmental risks.
