Resource Recovery Facility

The Montgomery County Resource Recovery Facility operator, Covanta Montgomery, Inc., is a member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Environmental Performance Track program

Waste is transported here, burned at extremely high temperatures, and the heat is used to generate energy in the form of electricity or steam. Metal is then recovered from the ash and recycled.
