Normally when you think of the Landfill, you probably think of just a place where trash is buried. However, the Buncombe County Solid Waste Department has many programs through the landfill that not only dispose of trash and improve our methods of recycling, but they even generate electricity with the gas created through its trash decomposition. So follow along with Landfill employees to learn all about these revolutionary processes, in a Day in the Life of the Solid Waste Department.

For more information about the Solid Waste Department, the landfill, Electronic Waste Recycling Day, the Gas-to-Energy Project, and more, visit buncombecounty.org/solidwaste.
