The #1 Profit Leak in Every Landfill

(That Almost Nobody Talks About)

And how fixing it can put an extra $2M–$7M in your landfills pocket every single year

If your landfill is still using 6 inches of soil as daily cover in 2025, you are literally throwing away millions of dollars of airspace and profit — every 12 months.

Soil daily cover is the most expensive “free” material you’ll ever use.

Why is ADC Needed at Your Landfill?

Soil Will Cost You Dearly in the End

Higher overall daily labour cost burden

Taking soil away is imperfect and at best a 50% efficiency as much gets left behind

Less sustainable and efficient than foam

Air Space is the Landfills Golden Goose

Air space is your most valuable commodity, ADC saves airspace vastly in the long run

Typically a landfill will create multiple millions of dollars into the bottom line over time

Sustainable and Traps Methane

Other cover materials can have detrimental effects to the health and wellness of the landfill

Methane has become a major pain point for landfills

Labour becomes a fraction of the manpower & costs of conventional alternatives

What Is Alternate Daily Cover (ADC) – Really?

ADC is any approved material (other than earthen soil) that you spread, spray, or roll over the working face at the end of the day.
Think reusable heavy-duty tarps, fast-setting foam blankets, crushed C&D fines, green-waste mulch, or geosynthetic films that lock everything down in minutes instead of hours.

The EPA has allowed these since the 1990s, yet most operators are still stuck in the 1970s with dirt

Why Soil Is Quietly Destroying Your Profits (And Why ADC Is the Cure)

Bottom line for a typical 500–1,500 ton-per-day site:

Switching to the right ADC system adds $2–$7 million in new cash flow every year — often with ZERO upfront capital and payback in weeks, not years.

Real Operators, Real Money (2024–2025 Numbers)

Midwest regional landfill: Went from losing $1.2M/yr to banking an extra $4.1M in the first 12 months after ditching soil.
Southeast county site: Added 19 extra years of life and $38M in future revenue — just by switching to reusable tarps and foam.
Western private operator: Cut daily cover costs from $2,100/day to under $280/day overnight..
