NWRA Applauds Deal that Extends Wheelabrator Operations in Baltimore
Wheelabrator and City of Baltimore Reach Agreement that Extends Until End of 2031
Arlington, VA – The Baltimore City Board of Estimates granted Wheelabrator a 10-year extension to operate its incinerator until December 31, 2031. The agreement requires Wheelabrator to invest approximately $40 million to upgrade its emission control technologies.
“We are pleased that the City of Baltimore and Wheelabrator could reach an agreement. This is a win for both the community and the city. Wheelabrator provides $7 million to the city in host fees and important jobs. Furthermore, with the investments in emission control technology, Wheelabrator will have some of the lowest emissions of any waste-to-energy facility in the country,” said National Waste & Recycling Association President and CEO Darrell Smith.
