In Catawba County, North Carolina, not only are they generating power from their landfill gas, they’ve established an EcoComplex adjacent to the landfill to promote multiple beneficial uses of the County’s “waste” resources. The Alliance for Innovation recently awarded Catawba County the 2007 Thomas H. Muehlenbeck Award for Excellence in Local Government for their creative, forward-looking vision embodied by the EcoComplex. More information on the Catawba County Landfill can be found here.
