The Bouqueval/Plessis-Gassot landfill handles an average of 800,000 metric tons of waste per year. Put another way, that's the waste generated by 2 million people!

Digging each cell produces 800,000 metric tons of materials, half of which is sold.

Total biogas production amounts to 13,000 cubic meters an hour, of which 10,000 are recovered to produce 10 MW/h of electricity, i.e., the average consumption of a town with 30,000 residents.
