Podcasts about landfills

JP, BMitch, Landfill, and some callers rant about things they are mad about.

Landfill explosions, lithium-ion firestorms, and CIA briefings—today's guest has seen it all - or so she thought!Kathleen McCaffery's illustrious firefighting career includes crawling through rubble in Haiti, leading battalions as one of the first female fire chiefs in North America, and even rewriting Tesla's global fire safety strategy. This episode takes us into uncharted territory as Tesla recruits a retired firefighter to address global concerns over battery [fire] safety.Most solar companies are woefully underprepared to interact with firefighting agencies, and that's increasingly going to create friction and unnecessary limitations. Kathleen spent her entire career breaking down barriers (when she wasn't breaking down doors!) and has even been in the situation room of more than a few CIA operation briefs! To say she is battle-tested is putting it mildly. She answered the call to serve the country (CIA) and those in need (disaster relief), but could not have been prepared for the call she received post-retirement that pulled her back into active duty, this time taking her halfway ‘round the world to help solve battery fires in Australia! This is one of the most fun and wild conversations we've published all year.Expect to learn:

JP, BMitch, and Landfill debate whether they were more impressed with Jayden Daniels returning from injury or Bill Croskey-Merritt's big game.

For years, landowners near the Metro Vancouver incinerator in Burnaby have reported substantial deposits accumulating on their properties, requiring annual cleaning. Finally, independent testing has revealed dangerous levels of dioxins, furans, and heavy metals in this dust. We speak with Sue Maxwell, chair of Zero Waste BC.

JP, Landfill, Jeff, and some callers aren't sure why the Commanders aren't favored by more points this weekend.

Landfill won some bets on Sunday, and he bet on his nemesis Sam Darnold!?

Hour 3 of BMitch & Finlay features more listeners calling in to give out their credit pie from Washington's victory and Landfill recapping his betting weekend.

Students across Ireland saved the equivalent of 1.5 million AA batteries from landfill last school year - the weight of close to four school buses - with one small school collecting nearly 2,000 AA batteries per person. Cloonfour National School in Roscommon, with just 40 pupils, proved that even the smallest schools can make a massive impact as they rallied their families and community to collect used batteries for recycling and win their category in the national WEEE Ireland Schools Battery Recycling Competition. Other winning schools hailed from Galway, Carlow, Roscommon, Waterford and Donegal, with each awarded a €2,000 sports voucher for their efforts. This year's competition launches as the new EU Batteries Regulation come into full effect, bringing higher waste battery collection, recycling and recovery targets. WEEE Ireland is calling on schools, families, and communities nationwide to get involved by gathering used batteries for recycling and help Ireland meet these ambitious goals - while supporting environmental protection and the programme's charity partner LauraLynn Ireland's Children's Hospice. The competition is open to all primary and secondary schools in WEEE Ireland's battery recycling counties that collect at least 10 full 5kg battery boxes. "The new EU Batteries Regulation raises the bar for all of us, and schools across Ireland are proving they are ready to meet that challenge," said Elizabeth O'Reilly, Head of Environmental Compliance at WEEE Ireland. "The incredible efforts of students, teachers, families and local communities will help ensure we meet the minimum recovery targets for materials like cobalt, copper, lead, lithium, and nickel. This ensures these materials are recaptured for use again in manufacturing, as part of a more sustainable and circular battery economy. "Every year we see how collective action can achieve real results - and even the smallest schools, like Cloonfour National School, can make an outsized contribution." Expressing her gratitude, Kerry McLaverty, CEO of LauraLynn said: "The funds we have received from WEEE Ireland as a result of battery recycling programme over the last 14 years of this partnership have had such a positive impact on the children and families who avail of LauraLynn's specialised care and supports all across Ireland. "This year's donation brings the total fundraising to an incredible €610,000. LauraLynn would also like to say a huge thank you WEEE Ireland for the support across this campaign over the last number of years and to everyone who took the time to recycle their batteries. "It may seem like something small, but for the children and families who rely on LauraLynn, and for the environment, it is huge and very impactful."

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Charles Goetz, CEO of Powercast, to discuss the future of wireless power. Charles shares how Powercast’s patented RF technology is changing the way we think about batteries, sustainability, and powering devices at a distance. From industrial sensors to consumer electronics, discover how a truly wireless world is becoming reality—and what it means for innovation, sustainability, and the edge of AI. Key Takeaways: RF Wireless Power Enables True Wireless Charging [11:35]Powercast’s technology captures radio frequency (RF) energy from the air and converts it into usable power, enabling devices to be charged at distances up to 80 feet and beyond. Sustainability: Reducing Battery Waste [22:50]Billions of batteries end up in landfills each year. Powercast’s RF technology can eliminate or reduce the need for disposable batteries, as seen in Samsung’s TV remotes, which will keep 700 million batteries out of landfills over 10 years. RF Power is a Game-Changer for IoT and Edge Devices [27:46]As AI and IoT expand, the need for power at the edge grows. RF wireless power enables small, distributed devices to operate sustainably without frequent battery changes. The Future is Seamless, Not Plugged In [18:18]The vision is a world where “our stuff takes care of us”—devices are always powered, connected, and require less maintenance from users. Quote of the Show [18:18]:“Instead of us spending so much time taking care of our stuff, our stuff is just going to seamlessly take care of us. And that’s going to be very cool and very powerful.”- Charles Goetz Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

The South Wake Landfill has been causing an odor problem for neighbors in Apex and Holly Springs since it opened in 2008. In the past three months, complaints are on the rise again. The county said most come from within a half-mile radius, but some have been filed from as far as 2 miles away. WRAL news reporter Heidi Kirk spoke with residents about living with the smell and officials with the Division of Solid Waste and Recycling to see why the smell is more prominent this summer and what they're doing to find a solution.

Send us a textAnthony Iovine is the sales manager for Gateway Products Recycling, a family-owned paper recycling company, in business for over 30 years in Ohio and Pennsylvania. When asked why he loves his job, he says it's "waking up every day to save the planet - one bale of cardboard at a time." Paper recycling has been around since about 1031 AD, and is one of recycling's success stories. The U.S. recycles around 46 million tons of fiber annually, according to the American Forest and Paper Association. In this episode, Anthony busts a few recycling myths. He gives us an insider's look at the paper recycling industry, the role of intermediate processors like himself who collect, grade, and bale paper before shipping it to domestic mills to be made into new products. Tony also shares how the industry has changed over the years, the impact of China's National Sword policy, and the importance of paper recycling in a world of growing consumption and dwindling resources. Gateway collects source-separated paper, cardboard, plastic, and metals from commercial customers - ranging from food manufacturers and grocery stores to stadiums and distribution centers. This sorted material yields cleaner, more valuable recyclables, enabling Gateway to move between 15,000 and 18,000 tons of materials through its plants each month, with the final stop being mills that make recycled boxes, gypsum board, cellulose insulation, and tissue products. All these efforts help keep forests standing, while protecting ecosystems, water and energy. Listen and hear how Gateway can turn your workplace waste back into resources.  Learn More:About Gateway RecyclingAmerican Forest and Paper AssociationPlastic China DocumentaryChina's National Sword PolicyFollow us: https://www.facebook.com/ecospeaksclehttps://www.instagram.com/ecospeakscleContact us:hello@ecospeakscle.com

In this follow-up to our last episode on landfills, Host Angelique Dickson sits down with Andrew Green, Senior Associate at Peter J. Ramsay & Associates, to discuss the success of the ET capping system in Australia. They dive into the benefits of ET capping systems, highlighting their contribution to biodiversity and reduced environmental impact.---------Guest Quotes:“ You drive past a conventional landfill and all that you're seeing is grass and some monitoring infrastructure, and it's a pretty bleak environment. Whereas the ET capping systems we're seeing at the environment now are proper ecosystems. In Australia, we've got kangaroos living on these capping systems. They're raising their young on them. We're seeing a return of predatory native birds. The reestablishment of ecosystems. It's a wonderful reuse of this otherwise bland and hostile environment.”---------Time Stamps(00:50) Overview of Evapotranspiration Landfill Capping(01:27) Benefits of ET Capping Systems(03:20) Challenges and Adoption of ET Capping Systems(06:21) Global Perspective and Future of ET Capping---------Sponsor copyRethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

This Day in Maine for Friday, July 18th, 2025.

How to avoid creating trash in Iowa — from repairing your things instead of replacing them, to recycling and composting and more.

What happens when yesterday's landfills become today's problem—cracking, leaking, or resurfacing in the wake of poor maintenance or climate-driven disasters? In this episode, we dive into how companies and communities are tackling the legacy of contaminated sites, and the best practices shaping a safer, more resilient future for remediation. We hear from Angelique Dickson, co-host in this episode, President of the Inogen Alliance and EVP at Antea Group USA; Paul Walker, Technical Director at Tonkin + Taylor New Zealand; and Andrew Green, Senior Associate at Peter J. Ramsay & Associates, Australia.---------Guest Quotes“The  relationship with landfills is an interesting one. They're a necessary evil. We all use them to a greater or lesser extent. But I think there's an element that we don't want to think about them. We don't want them to be there. We just want somebody else to deal with them, basically.” - Paul“ Our landfill space has been relatively well regulated.That's not to say that we don't have historic landfills that are sort of forgotten, or our legacy sites…But basically what we've got in Victoria is some of the highest standards for landfill design, siting design, operation and rehabilitation in the country. A lot of other states and even other countries use our standards as their default.” - Andrew---------Time Stamps(00:00) Landfills: Out of sight, out of mind? (00:46) Meet the hosts and guests(01:19) Biggest risks of modern landfills(02:41) New Zealand's legacy landfills: A case study(09:54) Australia's best practices in landfill management(16:59) Climate change and its impact on landfills(22:28) Innovations and global knowledge sharing(32:15) Key takeaways with the hosts---------Sponsor copyRethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.
