Modern Landfills Are Safe and Needed
- Since the 1980’s, it is one of the most
regulated industries in the world
- Liner system to protect drinking water
– 5’ of compacted clay – 60 mil HDPE Liner – Drainage Layer
- Leachate Collection System
- Monitoring wells to monitor drinking
water
- Methane generation = renewable energy
source
- 30 year closure policy
- Provides an environmentally safe cost
effective place for non-recyclable waste streams

What Do Food Scraps Mean To Landfills?
- Food Waste = 14.6% of landfilled materials
– 70% moisture – Consists of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Sulfur and Ash – Carbon and Hydrogen combines to form CH4 (Methane) in the degradation process – Methane makes up +75% of natural gas – Methane can be used as a heating source or in power plants to produce electricity

CGS Cattle Feed Operation
- Started in 2006
- 900 head of cattle
- Top nutritionists and Universities
in the field have worked with CGS to develop program
- Primarily Angus, Simmental, and
Charolais Breads

Traits of a good feed stream
Solid in Nature Nutritional Value Good Shelf Life No Rancid Odor No Packaging Limited Handling Required Large Volume Large Containerization Consistency of Stream
SLIDE 9
How Is Food Scrap Valued?
1.) Sample is taken 2.) Sample is tested for nutritional value (protein, fat, carbs, vitamins, minerals, sugars, water concentration…etc) 3.) Nutritional and monetary values are compared to that of corn. *Corn is nutritionally the most well rounded feed source for cattle. 4.) Costs are subtracted Transportation Containerization Labor Fuel Storage Handling 5.) Value / Cost is established for the feed stream
SLIDE 10
CGS Food Scrap Reuse Program
- Feed stream is
picked up from producer and hauled back to CGS
SLIDE 11
CGS Food Scrap Reuse Program
Food Scraps are stored in Commodity Building until they are ready to be used for feed.
SLIDE 12
CGS Food Scrap REUSE Program
- Feed Streams are
mixed in PTO powered mixer to make nutritionally
- ptimal feed for
cattle
SLIDE 13
CGS Food Scrap Reuse Program
- Feed is conveyed
with PTO powered blender / conveyor into troughs for cows to eat

Challenges to increasing food scrap diversion %
Indiana has some of the lowest disposal tipping fees in the US Economics is the ultimate driver of US companies Regulation of table served foods Packaging, handling and sorting costs Shelf Life Volumes / Economies of Scale Education
