Waste-to-Energy

Waste-to-energy (WTE) turns non-hazardous waste that cannot be recycled into electricity. It’s a safe and efficient process that helps power local homes and businesses by using trash that might otherwise go straight to a landfill.

CNG For Business

By using compressed natural gas (CNG), we reduce the environmental impact of our daily operations and ensure more stable long-term fuel costs.

Landfill Gas-to-Energy

Through our landfill gas-to-energy system, we capture methane (a byproduct of the decomposition of organic materials) and convert it into reliable, renewable electricity.
