From Landfill to Park
Landfills are one of the major methods to
disposing the solid waste, which can store the garbage and let the rubbish decomposed.
Every time we think about landfills will be dirty, disgusting and messy.
However, the landfills will full and can not store any rubbish again. The
landfill still need take time to decompose. The closed landfills can become a
recreational facility, garden or some sport facility.
One of the example is the Jordan Valley in
Hong Kong, the areas of this landfills is around 11 ha and received around
1,5mt wastes. Since it was closed at 1990, it set up a park on the top and
opened to public in August 2010. It includes Bougainvillea Garden, jogging
track and Large Radio-Controlled Model Car Racing Circuit, etc. The landfill
restore provide a good a for the nearby residential and a good environmental to people spend their time .
The lighting system along the access road inside the park were powered by the electricity derived from landfill gas. The utilization of landfill gas in this case actualizes the principle of Waste-to-Energy and benefits the community. It also can benefit for energy saving.
