(MURFREESBORO) Middle Point Landfill operators have broken ground on an approximately $70 million renewable natural gas (RNG) site on the west side of the landfill property, adjacent to the East Fork Stone River and Lebanon Pike. The RNG facility will capture landfill gases that are generated as waste naturally decomposes and repurpose them into pipeline-quality RNG. The site is anticipated to be in service by Q4 2024 and will provide energy to 80,000+ homes annually.
