New Evaporator Cleans Landfill Runoff, Saves Money

A groundbreaking evaporator system at the Mat-Su Central Landfill near Palmer is revolutionizing waste management, treating and releasing decomposing trash water as vapor instead of trucking it to Anchorage. This state-of-the-art machine, powered by methane from the landfill, captures and removes pollutants like PFAS and toxins like zinc, significantly improving the environment. The system is expected to save the borough $270,000 annually and inspires Anchorage to install a larger version next year. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
