Landfill project

Some of the research team at the Barriere landfill

My apologies blog followers for the scarcity of blogs posts lately, I have been working long days undertaking a landfill study throughout the region.  I have been traveling throughout the region with a team of six amazing university students, dissecting loads of garbage coming into the region's landfills.

Dissecting means that we are taking a bag of garbage and sorting it's contents into lots different categories (133 to be exact), with the fourteen broad categories being paper products, paper packaging, plastic products, plastic packaging, organic, textiles, rubber, metal, glass, wood, construction materials, hazardous waste, electronic waste, and residuals.

Thats all the time I have for blogging today, we are off to Lower Nicola landfill (near Merritt) today - bright and early 6:00 am.
