There’s new, and different activity at the landfill at the South Central Iowa Solid Waste Agency than we normally expect. Sarah Bixby, director of the Agency tells KNIA/KRLS news that a Department of Natural Resources contractor is conducting research at the Tracy facility. Personnel are going through the trash and making an inventory. This inventory will be compared to an inventory taken several years ago to see exactly what is being disposed, and if what we are throwing away, or their proportions have changed since the last inventory. The results of the study will be used to see what we as consumers, and the landfill can do to better manage the waste we create.
