Did you know that Wisconsin is a leader in turning landfill gas into energy? Yep, some of the dumps around here capture the methane gas produced by decomposing trash and use it to generate electricity. It’s a win-win: reducing greenhouse gases while keeping the lights on.
Another fun fact: Wisconsin is serious about recycling. Some dumps might even turn you away if you show up with stuff that can be recycled instead of trashed. So, before you head out, check if you can recycle some of your junk first—it might save you a trip.
