Engineering Your Litter Control Efforts: Part 1

摘要

TECHNOLOGY HAS BROUGHT many changes to the waste industry. 1.Tractors that utilize GPS guidance systems and cellular-based reporting of machine diagnostics 2.Drones that can create topographic maps, or that use infrared sensors to identify subsurface landfill fires 3.Landfill gas wellheads that are automated and linked to a central (automated) control system But despite the many technological advances that landfills have enjoyed, some things just haven't changed all that much. When the wind blows, litter goes with it...and your sanitary landfill ends up looking like a dump. And while some facilities admittedly have more wind to deal with than others, virtually no sites are exempt.
