This one is interesting but I am not sure it was the one I was looking for. The info I heard this morning, (UMM 2 am) was on a housing project that used both sewage, trash, and garbage to make bio gas and recycle the trash. They had a vacum system built in that moved it along after a holding area was filled to some point. It was several years old and they only complaint was they did not place quite enough car parking.

Bo01 has an open drainage system which traps rainwater on numerous living green roofs, in courtyard ponds and open channels. That allows the water to run off slowly into a saltwater canal or the sea. The ponds and canal not only look attractive - they provide habitats for wildlife, creating biodiversity. For recycling there are waste separation units close to home and a centralised system of vacuum waste chutes.
