Processing and recycling storm debris
Article Abstract:
Metro Nashville is a government agency which was able to tackle debris from an ice storm in Nashville Tennessee in Feb 1994. Dropoff sites were set up for chipper services, residents and contractors to take brush. Jack Daniels hauled waste debris to its distillery, where it could be used as fuel. Storm debris was also cleared using satellite sites following a tornado in 1998. Other storm debris clearance projects have been carried out in Iowa following a storm in 1997, and Ohio, following a storm in 1998.
