Elk River Resource Recovery is a joint venture between Elk River Landfill Waste Management and Elk River Municipal Utilities, aimed at utilizing methane as a renewable resource. Their state-of-the-art power plant converts landfill gas into electricity, supplying energy to approximately 1,600 homes in Elk River. With a focus on waste reduction and proper management, Elk River Resource Recovery plays a crucial role in the community's efforts towards sustainable waste management.
Pope Douglas Waste to Energy Facility, another component of Elk River Resource Recovery, effectively converts trash into energy through incineration. Operating round the clock, this facility reduces the volume of waste by 90% and generates steam from the heat. With the growing waste stream in Sherburne County, these waste-to-energy facilities provide a reliable and sustainable solution to manage waste while recovering valuable energy resources.
