The Alexandria/Arlington Waste To Energy Facility began commercial operation in February 1988 and serves about 300,000 residents of the County of Arlington and the City of Alexandria, which jointly own the site. The facility's three, 325 ton-per-day furnaces process 975 tons of solid waste, generating up to 23 megawatts of renewable energy. The facility is located on the smallest site of any of the Energy-from-Waste facilities operated by Covanta.

What should I know before contacting a waste company?
It helps to have a basic idea of what you need help with before reaching out. Knowing the type of waste, how much there is, and whether you need pickup, drop-off, or something more involved can make the conversation a lot easier.
What information should I have ready before asking for service?
It is helpful to know what kind of waste you have, about how much there is, and where the service is needed. If the job has a timeline, access issue, or special handling concern, that is good to mention too.
