21st Century State-Of-The-Art Technology for Treating Residual Waste
By Raye Thomas, Ph.D., P.Eng., 2005-03-13

A. Large Engineered Landfill Sites Use 25 Year Old Technology 
In its 10 page insert in the Low Down newspaper, LDC refers to the landfill technology proposed as a 21st century state-of-the-art residual waste treatment facility.  This is absolute hogwash, and to refer to it as state-of-the-art more than 25 years after its introduction is ridiculous.  The technology planned to be used is old, dating back to the 1970s – hardly a 21st century way to treat residual waste.  Only for those interested in making money from landfill, where the more the garbage generated the richer they become, may this be construed as state-of-the-art.
