About This Project
The project consists of an active landfill gas collection system in Cells 1, 2, 2A and 4 of the MRSWF landfill (the Landfill) and an open flare to combust the gas. The project went through various upgrade stages beginning in 2009. The latest update involves the implementation of a beneficial use project. The captured biogas is transported to a power generating facility located next to the Landfill and is used for electricity generation. As part of this phase, a 1.05 MW power generating facility was constructed by Easton Utilities. This stage of the project was operational tested in December 2016 and gas collected from the Landfill is destructed by Easton Utilities for electricity generation.
