The Department of Environmental Protection, Waste Management, and National Grid are developing an important waste to energy program at the Newtown Creek water pollution control plant in Greenpoint: “Under a pilot program being run by the DEP, 130 tons of food waste collected each day from hotels and restaurants will also be fed into the project.”
As always, the Environmental Initiatives Committee would like to hear from you. Contact us at: [email protected] with any questions, issues, or to receive updates on upcoming programs and events.
