ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a landfill and sludge processing system. The landfill system comprises a first facility for disposing sludge with waste in a landfill, a second facility for forming a compost pile of yard waste mixed with sludge, a third facility for pelletizing sludge for ultimate use as a fuel, and a fourth facility for processing sludge for use in land enhancement applications. Preferably, there is a generator facility for producing energy from the pelletized sludge. The present invention is also comprised of a method for operating a landfill system. As shown in flow chart form in FIG. 6 , the method includes the steps of transporting sludge to the landfill system disposing a first portion of the sludge with waste in a landfill, disposing a second portion of the sludge with yard waste to form a compost pile, forming a third portion of the sludge into pellets for ultimate use as a fuel and processing a fourth portion of the sludge for land enhancement applications. Preferably, there is the step of collecting gas produced in the landfill of sludge and waste. Preferably, after the collecting step, there is the step of generating energy by burning the gas.
