Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) books

Selected papers from SWANA Conferences and Symposia on the topic of leachate recirculation and landfill bioreactors.

New from SWANA's Applied Research Foundation!

This is a comprehensive look at single stream recycling, along with an analysis of the economic feasibilities.

This guide was developed as a collective research effort through SWANA's Applied Research Foundation. It has been prepared to help solid waste managers throughout North America better understand both the benefits, as well as the drawbacks of choosing the single stream option, and to determine if and when this alternativ

This manual of practice – intended to be a source of information for both the inexperienced and the experienced landfill gas system operator – highlights practices and procedures for the operation and maintenance of landfill gas collection and control systems. Overall, provides a deeper understanding of LFG control and recovery.

This SWANA Technical Guidance Document is for lanfill owners/operators and others involved in the design and maintenance of MSW landfills. This guide highlights leachate management quality and quantity factors, plus biological and physical/chemical treatment issues.

Landfill disposal of MSW remains the major disposal option for many established solid waste programs. With state-of-the-art landfill construction, leachate management and landfill collection, landfills are becoming increasingly technical. Covered in this study: Waste Stabilization/Leacharte Recycle Process & Analysis, Zero-Discharge Leachate Treatment, plus summaries and conclusions with analysis data.
