Trash+Trek+stuff

 Mr.Kirchhoff I went to this trash place because my brothers team went to it. While I was there I noted down main points about the trash and it being a problem. Here are the main points.


 * //__Main Points__// **
 * S.W.A.C.O. stands for Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio
 * Paper is almost 30% of the waste.
 * Landfills are running out of space.
 * Instead of the 3 R's there are 4 R's. Reuse, Rethink, Recycle, Reduce.
 * 75% of the trash is recycle able.
 * Recycle rates are lower than 10%
 * 9% of the trash are metals
 * A hole or " cell" is just the first step for constructing a sanitary landfill.
 * Cells have to be built in a special way or else, when it rains the rain water will be contaminated the it will go underground and contaminate the groundwater. Which will cause diseases that are very toxic.


 * //__Other Important Points__//**


 * The cell has many layers so the contaminated water doesn't go underground, and contaminate the ground.
 * The trash people weigh the trash trucks.
 * The trash people receive about 4,000 tons of trash per day.
 * All the unnatural gas is converted in to natural gas.
 * Landfill gas at S.W.A.C.O will soon be used in the market.

I hope this information will help us in the project. This information was collected by me.
