Reducing Landfill Waste
Located in Ronkonkoma, New York, the MacArthur Waste-to-Energy Facility(opens in a new tab) is an award-winning Thermomechanical Treatment Facility. The Facility is owned by the Islip Resource Recovery Agency and serves the Town of Islip with reliable and sustainable waste management. Every year, our facility processes more than 160,000 tons of waste that would otherwise have ended up in a landfill.
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 362,000 metric tons of CO2. That's like taking 81,000 passenger vehicles off the road for one year.
We produce 12 megawatts of electricity 24/7 with our Waste-to-Energy process - enough to power 5,000 homes for a year.
We also recover 8,900 tons of metal for recycling annually - enough to build 7,000 cars.
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.
