Solid waste landfill cover material and method of extending the useful life of a solid waste disposal landfill

A method of extending a useful life of a solid waste disposal landfill comprising the steps of:

• providing a raw material feed stock composed of a commingled mixture of solid waste components;
• recovering a screened material product from said raw material feed stock for use as a substitute daily/initial solid waste disposal landfill cover material;
• periodically leveling and compacting disposal waste material in the solid waste disposal landfill;
• applying a layer of said recovered screened material product to the leveled and compacted waste material;
• and
• spraying and soaking said layer of recovered screened material product with a solution to inhibit combustion and to provide a nutrient to promote decomposition.

A method of extending a useful life of a solid waste disposal landfill comprising the steps of:

• providing construction and demolition disposal debris;
• processing said construction and demolition disposal debris by separating and recovering a construction and demolition disposal debris recovered screened material product therefrom for use as a substitute daily/initial solid waste disposal landfill cover material, said construction and demolition disposal debris recovered screened material product consisting of particles of which at least 90% have a particle size of 3" or less, wherein said step of processing is selected from the group consisting of:
• (a) shredding by impacting, milling or grinding said construction and demolition disposal debris through 3" openings of a shredder grate surface;
• and
• (b) screening said construction and demolition disposal debris through 3" openings of a screen surface;
• periodically leveling and compacting disposed waste material in the solid waste disposal landfill;
• applying a layer of said construction and demolition disposal debris recovered screened material product to the leveled and compacted disposed waste material;
• and
• spraying and soaking said layer of construction and demolition disposal debris recovered screened material product with a solution consisting of:
• water;
• boric acid;
• detergent;
• a nutrient;
• and
• a deodorant.
