REthinking Waste - From Recycling to Resources · S2 Ep 23 - Landfill Engineering - All about Landfills - Lincoln Coe · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

So...

The reason it costs so much is because of that complexity that I was talking to you about and because it takes time to organise, to plan, to prepare areas ready to receive waste, to place the waste, to then come in afterwards and...

and cover over it carefully, collect the landfill gas, then also we have a really strong requirement, and it's a responsibility, to monitor our operation because if you're not monitoring your operation, you don't know whether you're managing the effects of your operation, so whether that's

release of landfill gas or leachate finding its way away from the landfill to the natural environment, which in Green Island's the kaikarai.

So for understanding kind of what happens at a landfill and all of those different parts of it, I think it's really important to understanding why it is such a cost.

Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely.

So actually there's a really key point there, Lisa, is because when your red bin arrives at the landfill, because that's a large-scale operation with big equipment in an active tip-face area, transfer station is the same.

There's no opportunity.

It would not be safe or efficient or cost effective for us to intervene and take recycling out then.

And so taking recycling out of the landfill is also not an option because it will get contaminated with waste.

what it's mixed up with as well.

So absolutely that, when it goes in your red bin, it's going to end up in the landfill.

So please also, here's a shout out to, please don't put...

batteries and those types of things in your red bin because we, sorry, my landfill contractors end up, not every month, but they will be dealing with a fire that occurs either in the transfer station pit or actually at the tip face at the landfill because there's been a

I won't use the word irresponsible.

Inadvertent would be a different word.

So sometimes these things do end up in the red bin waste stream.

But I implore people to just be really, really diligent because it might be just a really easy thing for you to do or it might be an inadvertent thing for you to do.

But what that then transfers to us at the landfill is potentially something that we have to manage.
