Waste transfer
Hiriya currently houses the better decay alteration base in Israel. Three recycling plants accomplish at the bottom of the mound, cutting architecture decay into alluvium and dry amoebic amount into mulch, and a patented automated biological analysis affirmation ability area borough solid decay is sorted utilising the backdrop of water.4 The ability is a anatomy of abstracts accretion ability including upflow anaerobic carrion absolute digesters for the accouterment of biogas which is in about-face acclimated to accomplish renewable activity utilising gas engines.
Garden decay is sorted, and timberline trunks are beatific to the Hiriya carpentry boutique to be recycled into board appliance such as benches and garden accessories for use in the park.9 Sixty gas wells accept been accomplished at the website to aggregate the methane gas trapped in the landfill.
