Gemtec and the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission are already doing what Sustainable Saint John would like to see more of.
Waste Commission General Manager Marc McLeod tells CHSJ News for a few years now they have been collecting the methane gas produced at the landfill and then generating electricity.
McLeod says the upfront cost of between 3.5 and 4 million dollars was substantial but now the landfill is netting something like 350 thousand dollars a year so, in the long run, it will turn out to be a worthwhile investment.
