TRash to treasure

cells, and right now, bioreactor technology is being used only in one cell at a time. t he hope is that it be used for every cell in the future.

Here’s how it works, in a nutshell.

Start with 996 acres of land dedicated to dealing with the city’s waste (accepting about 2 million tons of trash per year, the Mc c ommas b luff is t exas’ biggest dump).

On the east end of the dump stands a tower that stores sludgy recycled trash water containing bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms or microbes.

t he yucky mix flows from the storage tower into horizontal perforated pipes that line the landfill.

t he liquid is then injected into the trash, where it acts as food for hungry microbes, causing the trash to decompose much faster than it would normally.

Accelerated decomposition means faster generation of valuable gaseous byproducts methane and carbon dioxide.

Another set of vertical pipes acts like wells, sucking up the gas and transferring it to a processing facility on the west end of the land.

Machinery at the processing site sterilizes and separates the gases, preparing them for sale to Atmos e nergy and other customers.

The economy of space

Garbage service is built-in for the city’s single-family homes (it accounts for the biggest chunk of the $20.98 charge on our monthly sewer bill), but multi-family complexes or businesses have to pay by the ton to dump trash at the landfill. b ecause Mc c ommas b luff is so large, Dallas accepts trash from other counties, commercial outfits and anyone else willing to pay its $21-per-ton fee. t hat’s the most substantial way the city generates revenue on Mc c ommas b luff, a total of $25 million in 2008. t he city expected to net $28 million in 2009, but a good portion of its customer base is the construction industry, and because the economy has weakened, Nix says, construction tapered off so the city expects to net $23 million.
