The contract will be effective July 2013 and is an extension of the company’s existing long-standing relationship with the county.
The company currently converts 4,500 tons of solid waste into renewable energy every day that offsets the need for 2.4 million barrels of oil per annum.
Wheelabrator vice president of operations Bill Roberts said that the company looked forward to extending its waste-to-energy technology and services to cities in the Broward County.
"Combined with waste reduction and aggressive recycling, Broward’s waste-to-energy process recovers 30,000 tons of metal annually and provides a reliable and environmentally sound long-term trash solution," added Roberts.
