When it comes to Alternative Daily Cover (ADC), what you use matters. Too many landfill operators are paying premium prices for materials that deliver little value—stone that’s sold by weight, or worse, so-called “filler” that includes trash, nails, and debris.
At TIEROC, we believe you deserve more: more volume, more consistency, and more return on every dollar you spend.
The Real Cost of Traditional ADC
Many landfills still rely on rock or stone for road building, safer ground by the work dump face, and at the turnarounds for the trailer tippers and daily cover. While it’s long been considered standard, it comes with major drawbacks:
✅ It’s heavy – and priced by the ton, not by how much area it actually covers.
✅ It’s expensive – especially when you compare it to high-volume options.
✅ It’s rough on your equipment – causing wear and tear over time.
✅ It doesn’t maximize your daily compaction strategy.
Worse still, some ADC suppliers are selling “filler” made up of mixed materials—plastic bits and even construction debris with nails. These can damage machinery, create compliance issues, and add zero real value to your operation.
Why TIEROC Is a Smarter Alternative to Rock and Stone
TIEROC was engineered with landfills in mind for nearly a decade. It’s 100% clean wood and optimized for volume-based use—the way most landfills actually operate.
Instead of being sold by the ton, TIEROC is priced and delivered based on how much surface area you can cover. For example, for the same cost as about 15 yards of stone, you could get up to 125 yards of clean TIEROC ADC—a staggering difference when it comes to operational efficiency.
The Benefits Add Up
✅ Clean, consistent wood
✅ On average, customers see a 50% savings versus traditional rock or stone
✅ Significantly more volume per dollar vs. stone (think 125 yards vs. 15 yards)
✅ Delivers compliance, performance, and long-term savings and LNG production benefits
The Bottom Line
If your landfill is still using stone or questionable ADC material, you could be wasting thousands of dollars a year—while also compromising safety and performance.
TIEROC delivers more material, more coverage, and more confidence in every load.
