Reducing Landfill Waste
Located in Indianapolis, Indiana, the Indianapolis Resource Recovery Facility is an award-winning thermomechanical treatment facility that serves the City of Indianapolis and Marion County with reliable and sustainable waste management. Every year, our facility processes more than 700,000 tons of waste that would otherwise have ended up in landfills.
The facility supplies 50 percent of the steam needed for the downtown Indianapolis heating loop. Citizen Thermal Energy purchases the steam and supplies it to their customers, which include Lucas Oil Stadium and Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
In addition to keeping waste out of landfills, we're committed to ensuring safe operations and minimizing environmental impacts. We have been consistently recognized for exceptional operations, including OSHA's stringent Voluntary Protection Program Star certification.
Our Facility’s Annual Impact
Less waste in landfills reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 1,420,000 metric tons of CO2. That's like taking 317,000 passenger vehicles off the road for one year.
We produce over 3.4 billion pounds of steam annually, powering 50% of the downtown Indianapolis heating loop.
We also recover 18,000 tons of metal for recycling annually - enough to build 14,000 cars and produce 121 million aluminum cans.
Environmental Performance
We care about our communities and operate well below emissions limits. Over 99.9 percent of what comes out of our plant's stack is what you'd typically find in air - water vapor, nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. The remaining constituents are well below federal and state standards.
