If Greensboro and Guilford County produce about 390,000 tons of refuse, how much more trash could the White Street Landfill end up taking in, if Guilford County is included?

145,000 tons MSW: Tons collected by City of Greensboro,
including [more than 8,000 tons of ] sludge from Osborne Wastewater Treatment Plant

If the sludge is already going to the White Street Landfill,
145 - 8 = 137,000 tons

-100,000 tons MSW: Tons taken by private haulers to Greensboro Transfer Station

-100,000 tons MSW: Tons taken by private haulers to Republic’s Transfer Station

-45,000 tons MSW: Tons taken by private haulers to various other locations"

137 + 100 + 100 + 45 = 382,000 more potential tons per year than now.
