Waste to Energy Services

10,500 tons of residential waste is sent every day to landfills. That’s enough waste to fill the entire Empire State Building. So what can we do with this waste? Make energy! With Waste to Energy electricity plants. Here’s how it works: Waste is burned to heat a boiler. This generates steam for a turbine to spin. The turbine creates electricity, which drives a power generator. One year’s worth of New York City’s waste alone (3,832,000 tons) could generate over 2 Million MWh of electricity. That’s enough electricity to power over 200,000 homes for 1 year or power more than 12% of Manhattan apartments for 1 year.
