"Wheelabrator Technologies Inc. is a premier renewable energy generation
company producing clean energy from waste fuels. Since it opened the first
commercially successful waste-to-energy facility in the U.S. in 1975,
Wheelabrator has been leading the charge in clean energy generation."
What is Waste to Energy? -
"Using proven mass-burn
technology to produce energy by feeding municipal solid waste into large power
boilers, Wheelabrator's waste-to-energy facilities are dedicated solely to
burning trash. The resulting energy produces steam thus electricity. The
waste-to-energy process was first adapted for the United States marketplace
through Wheelabrator’s innovative technologic breakthroughs. At full capacity, a
waste-to-energy plant consuming 1500 tons per day of trash has a generating
capacity of more than 40,000 kilowatts of clean, renewable electrical energy for
sale to the local electric utility company. This is the equivalent of supplying
all of the electrical needs of 40,000 homes."
Schedule: A Short video
Presentation, followed by a guided tour of the facility.

is a renewable energy source.
