Penticton caught between a rock and a hard place when it it comes to methane reduction at its landfill

When you send your organics (yard waste and food scraps) to the landfill, you might imagine it is turning into dirt. That is not happening. The trash in the landfill is buried so deep it doesn’t have access to the air. When organics decompose without oxygen, they don’t produce dirt, they produce methane.
