Abstract
The present invention relates generally to a method for baling waste prior to the waste being disposed in a landfill by either encasing waste in degradable film and compacting the film and waste or wrapping compacted waste in degradable film. The preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a method for baling waste to maximize airspace savings while simultaneously fulfilling the environmental agencies' requirements for alternative daily cover. In the preferred embodiment of the method for baling waste of the present invention, the method comprises: compressing and compacting loose waste; inserting the compressed waste into a bag made from an alternative daily cover; and sealing the bag about the waste. The bag not only contains and encases the waste, but also maintains rigidity and form of the compressed bale.
