Resource Recovery Facility

The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) awarded our Resource Recovery Facility its "2010 Gold Waste to Energy Excellence Award”.

Waste is transported to the Resource Recovery Facility, burned at extremely high temperatures, and the heat is used to generate energy in the form of electricity or steam. Metal is then recovered from the ash and recycled.
