Engineering Your Litter Control Efforts: Part 2

摘要

PREVIOUSLY, WE TALKED about litter control at landfills. And while litter control is an integral part of managing any landfill, in this article, we are going to take a step back and talk about preventing litter in the first place. What I'm talking about is developing strategic fill sequence plans that provide sheltered fill areas you can work in during those particularly windy days when most litter is generated. In some cases, this may be as simple as maintaining a pocket that is lower than the rest of the landfill, a protected zone to which you can retreat on those especially windy days. Some landfills have topography that makes this possible; others do not. Landfills that do not have an obviously protected zone would need to create one.
