Chambersburg, PA has turned the local Blue Ridge Landfill into a renewable energy resource. The town is capturing methane from waste decomposition in the landfill and using that gas to power electric generators. After completing the 5.1 MW landfill gas project, 15% of the entire town's electricity is now coming from renewable energy; compared to 4% being used at the state level. The project was completed on time at a cost of $1.5 million, which was below the proposed budget.
