Landfilling Biosolids

  • Space constraints: There is limited capacity at landfills in Colorado.
  • Acceptance rules: Landfills also have restrictions on what they accept due to the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions – which have a negative impact on air quality.
  • Wasteful: It doesn’t allow for the direct beneficial reuse of biosolids, squandering a potentially valuable resource.
