Landfill netting today is increasingly important as communities grow. With encroaching developments nearby, trash, litter and debris blowing from a landfill is more than a nuisance – it’s an environmental hazard that can put a landfill operator out of compliance with local, state and federal regulations. More and more, fence netting and debris netting systems are becoming a must.
Debris and litter fence netting is usually built on the downwind side of the landfill, and is built from 18 to 40 feet high. Designers take into account factors such as:
- Prevailing winds
- Distance to adjacent properties
- Traffic inside landfill
- Cost of litter pickup
- Typical wind speed
- Size and terrain of landfill
- Projected lifespan of landfill
Other considerations might be the maximum trash load on the barrier (worst case scenario), soil conditions, future use of the landfill site and local permit processes.
Landfill Netting: We keep the trash out
You’ve seen tall trash fence netting outside of landfill areas. Trash fence installation is one of the things we specialize in at Ace Golf Netting. Remember; we don’t do electrical installation, utility line work or other general-contractor type work. Trash fence jobs, debris netting, landfill netting and golf range/driving range netting is our specialty. It’s not only what we do, it’s all we do. Don’t trust an investment as significant as a trash fence to someone who only does that type of work as a sideline.
