Landfill Closure and Housing Values
نویسنده
چکیده
The United States disposes roughly 60% of the municipal solid waste it generates each year in solid waste disposal facilities, commonly known as landfills. Hedonic pricing studies have estimated the external costs of landfills on neighboring housing markets, but the literature is silent on what happens to property values after the landfill closes. Original housing price data collected both before and after a landfill closure are used to estimate how a landfill closure affects neighboring property values. Results of both a hedonic pricing model and repeat-sales estimator are used in the analysis.

متن کاملMunicipal solid waste characterization and its assessment for potential methane generation: a case study.
There has been a significant increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in India during the last few decades and its management has become a major issue because the poor waste management practices affect the health and amenity of the cities. In the present study, various physico-chemical parameters of the MSW were analyzed to characterize the waste dumped at Gazipur landfill site in Del...
متن کاملEffects of Temperature on the Long-Term Behaviour of Waste Degradation, Emissions and Post-Closure Management Based on Landfill Simulators
A demonstration pilot with seven anaerobic landfill simulators (LSRs) was used to study the impact of temperature in the range of 20 46 °C on long-term landfill emissions, characteristics and tendencies, because of an evident lack of knowledge in this area. The pilot ran more than 1400 days. Higher temperatures accelerated the waste degradation and gas generation, but also resulted in higher le...
متن کاملEstimation of gas emission released from a municipal solid waste landfill site through a modeling approach: A case study, Sanandaj, Iran
Sanitary landfill is the common strategy for municipal solid waste management in developing countries. Anaerobic decomposition of disposed wastes in landfill under favorable conditions will lead to the landfill gas (LFG) emissions, considering as emerging air pollutants. The emission of greenhouse gases, including methane, resulting from municipal solid waste disposal and treatment processes ar...
متن کاملA review of approaches for the long-term management of municipal solid waste landfills.
After closure, municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills must be managed and controlled to avoid adverse effects on human health and the environment (HHE). Aftercare (or post-closure care) can be brought to an end when the authorities consider the landfill to no longer pose a threat to HHE. Different approaches have been suggested for long-term landfill management and evaluation of aftercare comple...
