Westchester’s energy-from-waste facility provides dependable, environmentally safe disposal of up to 2,250 tons per day of everyday household and business waste for Westchester County, using the waste as local fuel to generate 63 MW of clean, renewable electricity for sale to the local utility, enough power to supply the electrical needs of 67,000 New York homes as well as its own operations.
Located in Peekskill, New York, a community with a 51 percent municipal recycling rate in 2010 — far exceeding the national average — WIN Waste Innovations Westchester is proud of its record of metals recycling from waste, topping nearly 12,000 tons in 2015.
The facility also provides green steam to White Plains Linen, partnering with the commercial laundry operation in a newly constructed steam line to power their operations and reduce their reliance on fossil fuels—another example of how a local-energy ecosystem uses waste as a local fuel for steam and power for local homes and businesses.
