Waste

The current state of solid waste processing has evolved due to better technology being available for disposal and for improving recycling methods. Southwest Ranches is a community that is part of the Broward County Solid Waste Disposal Services Interlocal Agreement, which entitles the Town to utilize the County’s Resource Recovery System(RRS).

All your solid household waste gets taken to the Wheelabrator Environmental Systems Inc., Facility, a waste-to-energy plant. The solid waste is incinerated at the plant and is then generated as clean, renewable energy adding electricity to the nation’s power grid. About 95% of the total electricity produced at the waste-to-energy plant is sold for use in local homes and businesses.
