The Marshall County Landfill went solar!

In January 2022, the Landfill was awarded an EMS grant of $24,999 to invest in solar power for 3 sites at the landfill.

The Landfill purchased and installed the panels in the spring of 2022.  The panels were operational by July 2022.   Data was collected and an open house was held in Oct 2023 to allow the community to speak with the experts on solar power.

 

Carbon Sequestering:

The landfill is currently working to establish a tree-planting program for the Marshall County area.  After two major storms in Marshall County, the tree canopy was devastated.  The landfill is working to see more trees are available in the county to offset greenhouse gas emissions.
