Wheelabrator Falls Inc.
 In Falls Township, as part of its Recycle First® program, Wheelabrator has developed America's first privately initiated, totally integrated Materials Recovery Facility ("MRF") with a commercial waste-to-energy facility. The MRF is successfully recovering and marketing a variety of recycled products, while demonstrating that waste-to-energy and recycling are compatible and can be successfully integrated at a single site. At full capacity, the waste-to-energy plant, which sells electricity to Public Service Electric and Gas Company, can generate more than 53,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy per hour. This is the equivalent of supplying all of the electrical needs of more than 60,000 Pennsylvania homes.
