About Us

A wholly owned subsidiary of Waste Management, Inc., of Houston, Texas, Wheelabrator Technologies owns and/or operates 16 waste-to-energy facilities and five independent power production facilities. These facilities are located in 10 states ranging from New Hampshire to southern Florida and out to the west coast, and have an electric generating capacity of 836 megawatts, enough energy to power more than 900,000 homes. Wheelabrator's waste-to-energy facilities have a solid waste disposal capacity of 21,340 tons per day, as much trash as disposed of daily by more than 9 million people.

Wheelabrator's independent power plants generate electricity using a variety of fuels including waste wood, tires, waste coal, and natural gas. In addition to producing electricity, some of these facilities also produce steam that is sold to nearby government or commercial establishments.

We invite you to visit Our Clean Energy Plants section to learn more about each of these facilities.

As a leader in renewable energy, Wheelabrator is committed to customer satisfaction and long-term relationships while protecting the environment and providing a safe workplace for our employees. Our web site reflects this commitment and we're glad you had a chance to visit.
