Landfills and hospitals typically donґt have much in common.
Landfills are decidedly dirty, unsanitary and noisy places. Thatґs just part and parcel for the work conducted at these sites.
Hospitals value sterile, quiet conditions. Thatґs essential for the work and healing that takes place.
But a three-mile pipeline that connects the Rockingham County landfill in Harrisonburg, Va., with the countyґs new hospital is bringing these two unlikely partners together, literally.
Itґs a relationship thatґs finding a use for landfill gas while saving money for the healthcare facility, said Darrin Dillah, who calls the project “a somewhat unconventional marriage” between the disposal site and the healthcare facility.
