April 26, 2006—Ovidio Elizondo, plant manager, and Walter Vergara, World Bank task manager of the Landfill project, give World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz a tour of the facility.

The project serves as a model for integrating greenhouse gas control measures in solid waste management programs in other Mexican municipalities.
