White Goods/Bulky Scrap Metals Recycling
All white goods/bulky scrap metals
are sold and marketed through a partnership
with the Bi-Metals Corporation. Approximately
120-125 tons are recovered from various SPSA
operations and sources. SPSA generates revenues
from the sale of the materials.
Soilex, Inc.
Opened August 20, 1999, Soilex specializes
in the treatment and recycling of petroleum-contaminated
materials and receives the majority of the
region's waste materials that come from oil
spills and other emergency response actions.
This facility will allow us to receive larger
volumes of materials that, once treated, may
be used in other beneficial ways at the landfill.
What the partnership means to SPSA is additional
material to cover landfilled waste that we
do not need to have to pay for and avoided
fuel and transportation costs.
Bi-Metals, Inc.
SPSA uses the Bi-Metals Recycling Facility
located at the Regional Landfill to recycle
and reuse ferrous metals like steel food cans.
Over 19 million pounds of metal are recycled
annually through this facility. Based out
of Connecticut, Bi-Metals, Inc. operates this
facility for SPSA and has several other such
facilities across the United States.
Suffolk Energy Partners
Methane gases from the Regional Landfill are
reused to create electricity. The firm of
U.S. Energies owns and operates a facility
located at the Regional Landfill site to
manage the methane gas program.
SPSA is paid royalties from the sale of the
electricity to Dominion Virginia Power. Additionally,
the gas collection system keeps SPSA's Regional
Landfill in compliance with air emission limits
required under EPA's New Source Performance
Standards of the Clean Air Act.
The facility at the site creates enough electricity
to power over 6,000 homes annually.
In addition to the sale of electricity to
Dominion Virginia Power, US Energies and SPSA
constructed a 2.3 mile low pressure pipeline
to Ciba Chemicals in 2001. The pipeline provides
Ciba with low-moisture methane as a boiler
fuel source. SPSA receives a percentage of
the sale of methane to Ciba.
