The facility has been fully operational since May 1998, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, processing municipal and non-hazardous industrial and commercial waste. The facility has two furnace lines with a combined processing capacity of 250,000 tonnes of municipal waste per year. A third line is currently under construction which will be capable of processing a further 125,000 tonnes of municipal waste. Currently, up to 100 waste collection vehicles carrying 1,000 tonnes of waste arrive at the plant every day. |
