Airspace is the amount of space related to capacity and usable life of a landfill. Selling airspace is what drives profit for a landfill, making it the most precious asset and biggest conservation challenge. Read below to learn how Alternative Daily Cover products from Stowers and FINN can help you increase airspace while extending the life of your landfill. |
| WHY ALTERNATIVE DAILY COVER? Federal and State regulations require that landfills cover their solid waste daily with a minimum of six inches of dirt. At the end of each day a cover must be applied to seal compacted trash preventing noxious odors, spreading litter and access to pests, such as birds, rats and insects. Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) products can take up to 24 times less space than dirt. Since the life of any landfill depends on the remaining available, permitted airspace, each cubic yard of dirt that is used for daily cover results in a permanent loss of revenue on space that cannot be sold. FINN WASTE COVER FINN Waste Cover is an Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) manufactured from recycled paper and wood and contains polymers, an enzyme complex, and other proprietary ingredients.When mixed with water in a FINN landfill spray application machine, the black spray on slurry is applied to the “open face” forming a cement-like crust. Waste Cover helps to alleviate odors and break down garbage faster. FINN Waste Cover meets ASTM D4982-95 (Flammability Potential Screening Analysis of Waste) and ASTM D6523-00 (Standard Guide for Alternative Daily Cover for Sanitary Landfills). It is biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-flammable, and it is easy to load, mix, and discharge.
