The Neal Road Recycling & waste Facility is the County landfill located south of Chico operated by the Butte County Department of Public Works. It can be seen prominently off of Highway 99 to the east down Neal Road. They take all non-hazardous municipal solid waste for disposal as well as they will accept all electronics, appliances, scrap metal, cardboard, concrete and greenwaste for recycling.
Because the landfill sits on top of the Tuscan Aquifer, various procedures are utilized in order to prevent contamination of groundwater. The landfill is lined with a double layer of compacted clay and geomembrane. The groundwater is tested regularly through a series of monitoring wells that line the perimeter of the landfill. They have a methane gas collection system in place to flare off the gas produced through decomposition. Plans are in place to use this gas to generate up to 4.5 megawatts of electricity. This project should be producing electricity by mid 2010.
