Method of testing a landfill for its methane potential comprising selecting a landfill which contains a significant decomposable fraction and a significant non-decomposable fraction, locating a plurality of zones within the landfill with each of said zones having at least one different characteristic, taking at least one sample of the material of the landfill at each of the zones, measuring the content of each of the fractions of each of the samples, and utilizing the ratio of one of the fraction contents to the other of the fraction contents for at least some of the samples to find the approximate methane potential of the landfill. |
