Abstract
A process for converting municipal solid waste landfills to aerobic conditions that will allow for a highly accelerated and enhanced bioreduction of landfill mass, followed by the optional excavation of the landfill cell materials subsequent to the bioreduction process, separation of excavated materials using trommels, screens, and other devices as necessary, production of useable compost materials, and reclamation of recyclable plastics, metal, and glass.
