Nothing lasts forever, including landfill liners. We monitor quarterly for evidence of leachate, methane, and other VOCs which may be released from our landfill....our landfill has been in place since at least the late 70s and is unlined, sitting on top of fractured granite. One thing we have going for us is a very dry climate here in the Mojave desert. Lissa, I think it was around 1994, but I may be mistaken. Nothing lasts forever, including landfill liners.

I was wondering because the first ones with the liners perhaps are getting old. Anyway, if you could direct me to some statute, I'd sure appreciate it.

Every last bit if it.: Thanks for the good post.

I couldn't find anywhere that says recycling options for restaurants except for their oil. If anyone has info about this I would appreciate it. I have made a goal to get 3 businesses aroung me recycling but not sure what to tell them :) I was just looking into that exact question Nannymule!

It is frequently much harder to find a place to recycle glass than other items. Yet I read that glass manufacturers are using 50% recycled glass to make new glass?? Another question related to glass recycling - where do bars and restaurants get rid of their massive amount of glass bottles? Surely, if recycling glass is valuable, then these bars and restaurants should be recycling, even more than homeowners?? I am puzzled by glass for recycling.
