“The site takes in 50 to 70 tons of recycling on an daily basis,” said Steve Reed, COO of waste services. According to Granger, this is the equivalent of more than 4.3 million barrels of oil, which powers almost 13,000 homes and heats another 60,000.Īlso, Granger opened the first 24-hour, local drop-off recycling site in 1989, accepting products such as cardboard, boxboard, magazines, glass, newspaper, tin, aluminum and some types of plastic containers. All of these projects generated over 140,000 megawatt hours of energy in 2005. Granger has its own team of engineers working on those technologies and also manages energy production from other landfills around the country.
As we are able to retrieve and harvest materials through different technologies, we will ultimately be able to produce 12 megawatts from this one facility.” By the end of the year we’ll be producing 6.4 megawatts of energy, enough to supply more than 4,000 average-sized households. It will continue to expand as the landfill volumes increase. “We’re adding new generators and we’ve built an addition to the plant. “By the end of this year, all of our power from the landfill will be going to the Lansing Board of Water & Light, due to an expansion we’re doing now,” said Granger. We’re an environmental management services firm responsible for the recovery of resources through recycling, composting, disposal and landfill gas conversion into renewable green energy.” “We turn your waste into a valuable resource.
