ADC Mulch

With our ADC Mulch method your landfill can now:

  2. Save thousands of dollars per year by eliminating many man hours in soil hauling and spreading.

Calculate the value of space
with Soil versus ADC Mulch method

Old Daily Cover Method -
Soil cover on 1/2 acre working face 6 inches deep using your own soil or free boiler ash.
New Daily Cover Method -
ADC Mulch used on 1/2 acre working face at 1/4" to 1/2" layer.
You lose 489 cy of space worth an average of $20 per cubic yard in tipping fees when your soil takes the place of solid waste. Frees-up 489 cubic yards of space worth $20 per cubic yard ! You can subtract the expense of the mulch and Hydromulcher.
You lose $9,780 per day
And still generate $9,025 per day! If you use ADC only 187 days per year that is a total of $ 1,683,000 per year in added revenue!

Applying our ADC Mulch allows you to skip the soil and instead just spray on specially formulated, recycled paper, landfill mulch quickly and easily.

Emerald ADC™ Landfill Mulch

This mulch is the alternate daily landfill cover made from recycled post consumer paper and wood, polymers, enzyme complex, biological stimulants, and other proprietary ingredients. It has been approved for use as a routine Alternative Daily Cover to minimize vector breeding and animal attraction, control leachate and erosion, reduce fire hazard potential, minimize blowing litter, reduce noxious odors, and provide an overall aesthetic appearance to the landfill. It helps breakdown the garbage faster and alleviate odors. All ingredients are not-toxic and biodegradable.
Alternative For Daily Cover Spray on Slurries (ASTM D 6523)
Meets Government Regulations Easy To Mix/Sprays Easily
Non Flammable Controls Blowing Litter
Repels Vermin Aesthetically Acceptable
Birds Don't Like to Land on it Controls Odor and Disease Vector
Saving Airspace Prolonging The Lifespan of Your Landfill

The life of any landfill depends on the remaining permitted available airspace. Each cubic yard of dirt used for daily cover results in permanent loss of revenue on space that cannot be sold. This spray-on mulch does not consume airspace and it meets or exceeds all of the performance criteria for Alternative Daily Cover material as required by the Standard Guide for Evaluation and Selection of Alternative Daily Cover (ADC's) for Sanitary Landfills (D-6523). When mixed in a Kincaid 1200LF Landfill Mulcher machine and sprayed on as a slurry it quickly sets up to create a complete cover that meets all regulatory requirements. Emerald's ADC will and has proven to be effective as alternative daily cover in landfills across the USA.

Alternative Daily Landfill CoverAdvantages of ADC Mulch as an Alternative Daily Cover

  • Frees up landfill space for more solid waste that pays.

  • Employees do not have to walk over the working face to apply it.
  • The blue color gives a pleasing appearance and makes it easy to see coverage.
  • Non-toxic and safe to handle / biodegradable / non-flammable.
  • Made of recycled paper and wood.
