Covanta Haverhill, Haverhill, Mass. |
The waste management and renewable energy firm Covanta, headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey, has reached an agreement with the city of Boston that will result in the city shipping about 140,000 tons of solid waste per year to Covanta’s Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facilities in Massachusetts. The agreement began July 1, 2014.
“We’re very pleased to have been chosen yet again by the city of Boston to provide reliable and sustainable waste disposal services at our EfW facilities.” says D. Scott Peterson, Covanta’s market area vice president. “This new contract term continues our current 14-year-long standing partnership. By choosing energy-from-waste, the city is able to generate clean energy from solid waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that would have been created had they chosen to send their waste to landfills.”
