Enviroscape® Landfill & Recycling Model

We all make trash — landfills will always be needed to accept trash that cannot be recycled or converted. Modern methods for solid waste disposal on land are difficult to explain and often misunderstood. Many people believe a landfill is a hole in the ground where our trash is dumped and left.

EnviroScape Landfill demonstrates how modern landfill systems of today differ from "dumps" of the past. The model and activities show

Leachate accumulation;

Collection and management in a landfill cell . . .

including recirculation and off-site treatment;
liner failure; and
use of back-up detection and collection systems;

Closure of a completed landfill cell with a capping system; and

Comparison of a modern landfill system to old-style disposal.

EnviroScape Landfill comes with the groundwater liner to show protection of the aquifer by modern systems as compared to contamination from the "dump."

The Landfill unit contains everything you need (but the water!). Landfill landscape top (topographical map), clear base, groundwater liner insert, trays that represent main and back-up liners and collection systems, trays that represent layers or lifts of trash, pumps and tubes to illustrate leachate collection systems, sponge pieces to represent trash, impermeable and permeable caps, tanker truck, leachate storage tank cover, trees, watercatcher, apartment and office buildings, weigh station, gas plant, houses, recycling bins with labels, spray bottles (rainmakers), felt strips (for storm drainage ditches), rubber gloves, sponge, sample liner material and User's Guide.

EnviroScape Landfill is a wonderful tool for helping people of all ages understand how a modern landfill works.

Rain is simulated on an active landfill cell on the model, so the viewer can follow the flow of the rain through the solid waste.

The leachate is collected and then recirculated from the tanks back through the trash or transported from the tanks to a wastewater treatment plant (the treatment plant is not actually shown on the model.)

Solid waste is represented with sponges and the leachate collection pumps and wells are represented with clear tubing and spray pumps.

A landfill cover is also provided to show how rain flows off the impermeable cover or "cap" to stormwater retention areas.

Each unit is shipped in a sturdy foam padded shipping box. You have the option of purchasing the New & Improved DELUXE Carrying Case on Wheels or the black nylon Tote/Shoulder Bag for ease in transporting the unit, but they are not required.

NEW! Improved Carrying Case! We've taken the best from the Heavy-Duty Carrying case and made it better! Now called the Nylon Carrying Case w/Wheels, the new case is made from a strong nylon material with reinforced sides, padded protection, wheels, a retractable handle and an additional side handle. It's much easier to transport, remove and replace the EnviroScape model, and much lighter to lift. Warm brown in color, the new improved Nylon Carrying Case replaces the original case.

TOTE/SHOULDER BAG: No more zippers — place your EnviroScape model(s) in the bag & go! Plus, it's big enough for the foam padded box. The tote bag replaces our nylon shoulder bag, and is 33.5" x 28" x 10", made from strong black polyester, with adjustable handles and inside pockets.
