ecomaine, a municipally owned and operated entity, is comprised of three facilities---a waste-to-energy plant, a single-stream recycling facility and an ashfill/landfill operation---all ISO 14001 certified for excellence in environmental management.

The waste-to-energy plant was built in 1988 and processes 175,000 tons per year. Its two mass burn water wall boilers produce 100,000 megawatts of electricity annually. The plant, which averaged 94% availability last year, employs the use of CEMS, SDA, SNCR, Carbon Injection, and Electrostatic Precipitator Technology for Emissions Control and Monitoring. 

Immediately adjacent to ecomaine’s Waste-to-Energy plant is its recycling facility, which houses a 36,000 TPY single-stream recovery operation that began in 2007.

ecomaine ’s ashfill is the first such site in the country to undergo a metals mining and recovery operation and is only two miles from the waste-to-energy plant. 

Despite its location near the busiest intersections and shopping area in the state, ecomaine has experienced virtually no public complaints regarding odor or errant refuse, and enjoys a very positive relationship with its neighbors.
