Description
Landfill. Between 1985 and 2006 almost two million tonnes of Hamilton rubbish was sent to Horotiu and buried in a old quarry, less than 50 metres from the Waikato River. Rotting organic matter continues to produce methane which is channelled to a small power plant to produce 920kW of electricity, enough to serve the equivalent of 1000 households over 15 years.
