Clean World Partners Receives $6 Million Grant to Expand Sacramento Waste Recycling Center | Solid Waste & Recycling Magazine.

The center initially will convert 25 tons of food waste per day collected by Sacramento-based Atlas Disposal Industries from area food processing companies, restaurants and supermarkets into renewable natural gas. The CEC grant will support expansion of the facility to handle 100 tons of waste per day by early 2013, which will make it the nation’s largest such system.

The expanded facility will replace 1 million gallons of diesel per year with renewable natural gas and produce 2 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year, enough to power 200 homes.
