Between 45% and 60% of landfill gas is made up of methane, which is constantly being vented from Knott Landfill.Around 25% of Knott Landfill’s contents is food waste, according to Udara Abeysekera Bickett, the program manager for The Environmental Center’s Rethink Waste Project.“A lot of people think food just breaks down in a landfill, but landfills are actually designed to not allow things to break down very well into the environment,” Bickett said.He said there is a propensity for making a false equivalency that more natural gas might mean Deschutes County residents and businesses can use as much natural gas as they want.Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd,racist or sexually-oriented language.PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK.Don't Threaten."
