They are now recycling waste into electricity. Far more efficient. Cheaper too.

China stopped accepting our recycling materials several years ago. Most if not all of the US recycling actually ended up in landfills. The US will not recycle because it does not pay enough. What we have at the Covanta Facility is the best of both worlds. It is clean and does not pollute the air, we don't have to bother to sort trash anymore, trash to energy is another form of recycling, IMHO. Win, win, win.

Not cheap as it was the most expensive option.
