| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the national attention received by the Peoria (Illinois) County Board's proposal for a five-year demonstration project to "reduce costs for separate yard trimmings collection and recover more methane from the landfill in order to generate electricity." Explains that the proposal would lead to the repeal of Illinois 1990 ban on depositing yard trimmings in landfills. Describes how several national environmental groups worked with local groups to defeat the proposal. Concludes that "despite the defeat of the proposal by the County Board, the city of Peoria could pursue legislative approval of the plan to landfill yard trimmings. Instead the city should develop a comprehensive solid waste management plan to reach at least 50 percent recycling. The city and county should see the defeat of an unproven landfill technology as an opportunity to explore alternative options, and bring its organized citizens, and their technicians, to the planning table." |
