The I-95 Energy/Resource Recovery Facility, operating as Covanta Fairfax, Inc., began commercial operation in June 1990. The facility processes more than 3,000 tons per day of municipal solid waste for a population of more than 900,000 in the Washington, D.C. suburbs of Fairfax County, Virginia. The 22.9-acre facility in Lorton, VA, sells more than 80 megawatts of renewable energy – enough energy to meet the needs of over 80,000 homes. It is the first Covanta facility to have a system to recover very small particles of non-ferrous metal for recycling.

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.
