Reducing Landfill Waste
Located in Dickerson, Maryland, the Montgomery County Resource Recovery Facility is an award-winning Thermomechanical Treatment Facility. The Facility is owned by Montgomery County and operated by Reworld, and serves its residents with reliable and sustainable waste management. Every year, our facility processes more than 500,000 tons of waste that would otherwise have ended up in landfills.
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 1,030,000 metric tons of CO2. That's like taking 231,000 passenger vehicles off the road for one year.
We produce 63 megawatts of electricity 24/7 with our Waste-to-Energy process - enough to power 24,000 homes for a year.
We also recover 9,600 tons of metal for recycling annually - enough to build 8,000 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.
