Thanks, @baltimoresun for the coverage! However, there are a few errors in your presentation. First, it's not the city that *has* to deal with over 700,000 tons of trash. Once Wheelabrator goes away, some 250K of that no longer gets trucked into the city. baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/e…
Next, the organization's name is Energy Justice Network, not "Energy For Justice." Third, at least 75% of what we dispose of recyclable or compostable, but that is not mentioned. Fourth, replacement facilities are CHEAPER than any retrofits Wheelabrator would do comply.
A mixed material recovery facility (MRF) set to go online in MA this year can handle around 2.4 times the amount of material DPW handles each year, or 730K tons. Its cost? $40 million. wastedive.com/news/zero-wast… We budget around $10-$11 mil. annually to burn up to 200K tons.
