In the next 16 years, the Lincoln Landfill off Bluff Road is expected to be full, which is part of the reason the Nebraska Farmers Union decided to create a pilot program to divert food waste.
John Hansen, President of Nebraska Farmers Union said, "Products that would normally go to the landfill in Lincoln, about 16% of total volume is food waste."
As an organization that produces food in the first place, Hansen said this seems wasteful. "We are creating a landfill cost and a problem that need not to be there."
