Last week Brown County, WI officials unveiled a new $3.8 million landfill gas-to-energy system. The project is expected to pay for itself in six to eight years by producing 1.8 megawatts of electricity that will be sold to Wisconsin Public Service Corp. It taps into the now closed Brown County East Landfill which opened in 1976 and closed in 2003 and contains an estimated 4 million tons of buried garbage.
