Airspace is one of the most important aspects of a landfill. The less material put into your landfill the greater the airspace savings. This presentation covers sustainable practices to divert waste away from the working face. It goes in depth about how diverting waste saves airspace, how the landfill profits from these recovered materials, and how diverted materials can be repurposed as alternate daily covers. This conservation lengthens the life of your landfill and boosts your bottom line.          

Effectively managing airspace is critical to extending the life of a landfill and improving its financial sustainability. By implementing practices such as waste diversion, using alternative daily covers, and investing in the right equipment, landfills can reduce the volume of material entering the site and maximize the value of recovered materials. These practices require planning and upfront investment but lead to significant airspace savings, reduced operational costs, and long-term profitability. The presenter, Charlie Nowak, has been in the waste industry since his teenage years and has worked in a multitude of roles.
