The MacArthur Energy-from-Waste facility, operating as Covanta MacArthur, began commercial operations in March 1990 under an agreement with the Islip Resource Recovery Agency. The 15.5-acre facility in Ronkonkoma, NY, processes 485 tons per day of municipal solid waste, generating up to 12 megawatts (MW) of renewable electricity - enough to power 12,000 Long Island homes. This facility also recovers and recycles 5,500 tons of ferrous (steel) metals annually.

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.
