Material Recovery Facility 3D Rendering
Mustang, in collaboration with the County of Santa Barbara and the cities of Santa Barbara, Goleta, Solvang and Buellton, is in the process of developing a Resource Recovery Project that would process municipal solid waste (MSW) currently disposed at the County-owned and -operated Tajiguas Sanitary Landfill.  This project includes facilities that would pull out any recyclables mistakenly sent to the landfill and anaerobically digest organic material currently disposed of at the landfill.  This project would increase recycling to the community above 85%, generate green energy and renewable compressed natural gas (rCNG) while reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from the community.
