Dive Brief:

• A project to recover recyclables and renewable energy from landfill waste is in limbo as the company handling the work at the site has fallen significantly behind on its bills.
• The board of the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) announced that Team Gemini, the Florida company in charge of the landfill work, owes more than $1.1 million in construction costs for the road that was built as a route to reach the landfill. 
• A decision about the future of the project at the Franklin County site in Grove City, OH won’t be determined until SWACO meets with the majority owner of Team Gemini, Patricia Wark.
