Prairie View RDF

As of 2022, Prairie View RDF has approximately 13,735,256 tons of waste in place. The total permitted design capacity of the facility is 24,161,285 tons, meaning the site is currently at approximately 57% of its total design capacity. The facility accepts approximately 854,293 tons of waste per year based on the most recent annual data. At the current rate of fill, the facility is projected to reach capacity and close around 2034.

Prairie View RDF has an operational landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) project using a Vehicle Fuel system. The facility generates approximately 6.5 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of landfill gas, of which approximately 5.4 mmscfd is actively collected. The landfill gas contains approximately 54.9% methane content. The gas collection system includes 143 extraction wells. This type of project converts waste-generated methane into usable electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while generating renewable energy for the local grid.
