The Greater New Bedford Regional Refuse Management District is a leading provider of integrated solid waste management services in the Dartmouth and New Bedford communities of Massachusetts. Their state-of-the-art Crapo Hill Landfill, equipped with a 3.4 megawatt power plant fueled by landfill gas, serves as the keystone of their sustainable waste management program. The district is committed to being a good neighbor by minimizing their impact on the surrounding area and continuously working to address odor issues associated with landfill operations.
With a focus on reducing landfill odors, the district employs various operational practices such as collecting landfill gas, using candlestick flares, and implementing daily cover material. They also take additional measures to reduce hydrogen sulfide concentrations and odors, including the installation of treatment systems, capping landfill areas, and discontinuing the acceptance of materials that may result in elevated hydrogen sulfide levels. The district provides regular updates on their ongoing efforts and encourages residents to report any odors they detect through their 24/7 odor hotline.
