Wayne Township Landfill

The Wayne Township Landfill's commitment to reducing, reusing and recycling is evidenced by our landfill gas (LFG) recovery system. The gas collected by the system is utilized by the Jersey Shore Steel Company (JSS) as the primary source of fuel for their re-heat furnace, as reported in the article, Hot Times at Jersey Shore Steel - Keeping Those T-Rails Rollin'.LFG is typically 50% methane and is a serious contributor to global warming. The gas is also a source of odor and smog pollution. By utilizing LFG as an alternative energy source, JSS improves Clinton County by reducing air pollution and tapping into an otherwise wasted source of useable energy. WTL provides JSS with approximately 1,000 cubic feet per minute of LFG, which equals 30 million BTUs per hour. By utilizing LFG JSS realizes significant fuel savings when compared to utilization of natural gas. This valuable partnership with JSS is just one of the ways that the Wayne Township Landfill strives to make a difference in preserving the environment.Welcome to the Clinton County Solid Waste Authority.
