• Proven waste conversion technologies
• Marriage of WTE and water resources
• Emerging waste conversion technologies
• Synergistic opportunities

6. The Three Rs of Recycling…Plus Two!
6
Emerging Paradigms
7. Modern Waste-to-Energy (WTE) in the US
• WTE disposes of 13% of the nation’s waste (U.S. EPA)
– 86 operating facilities
– 36 million people served
– 27 states
– Generation capacity in
excess of 2,700 MW
– 16 million MWhrs of
renewable power generated annually
– 259 million tons per year currently disposed of in landfills represents
an additional 142,450,000 MWhrs annually (equivalent to 16,261
MW of capacity)
• Most WTE facilities sell electricity to the local grid at lower prices
than Public Works facilities purchase at commercial rates
7
Proven Waste Conversion Technologies
8. WTE Capacity Factor is Among the Highest of
Renewable / Fossil Energy Options (24/7/365)
• Photovoltaic solar (northern latitudes) 12-15%
• Photovoltaic solar (southern latitudes) 18-20%
• Wind 20-40%
• Thermal solar (parabolic trough) 40%
• Natural Gas Combined Cycle 60-80%
• Biomass 60-85%
• Landfill Gas 80-95%
• Baseload Coal 80-90%
• Waste-to-Energy (WTE) 85–92%
• Hydroelectric 10-99%
Capacity Factor = actual kWhrs produced divided by kWhrs that would have
been produced if operated at design capacity over same period.

Proven Waste Conversion Technologies
9. Modern WTE Trends – Improved Efficiency,
Attention to Aesthetics and Sustainability
•WTE facility expansions and new construction
•Attention to aesthetics/LEED®/innovation
•More stringent emission limits and GHG reporting
Increasing •MSW Higher Heating Value (HHV)
•Boiler/T-G availability
•Use of reclaimed water for cooling
•Gross/net electric generation
•Non-ferrous metal recovery
•Integrated solid waste management/eco-campus
•Resistance to WTE in established communities
•Air emissions
•Reagent consumption
•Water consumption
Decreasing •Lower payments for renewable electricity

Proven Waste Conversion Technologies
10. Dominant WTE Technology in US
is Advanced Massburn Combustion
• ~75% are massburn facilities
• ~ 17% are refuse-derived fuel (RDF) facilities
Massburn WTE requires no pre-processing of MSW

34. Water – Energy Nexus
Water and Energy are Inextricably Linked!
• Water scarcity is the new paradigm for the 21st century!
• Lower quality water supply sources require higher levels
of treatment
• Higher levels of treatment require greater inputs of energy
– Pumping from greater depths / distances
– Membrane processes require energy for pressure
– Advanced disinfection treatments are often
electrically derived (ultraviolet light, ozone)
• Mutual benefits can be shared between solid waste and
water resource departments!

• Collection services are provided by three private franchised contractors throughout the unincorporated
areas of the County:
– Residential collection of solid waste twice a week
– Residential collection of yard waste once a week
– Residential collection of curbside recyclables once a week (cardboard, newspaper, and mixed
paper; plastic and glass bottles, steel and aluminum containers)
• Posted FY 2011 full costs for the Solid Waste Management System are:
– Residential collection: $136.23 / HH / year
– Residential disposal: $94.94 / HH / year
– Residential recycling: $10.89 / HH / year
– Landfill disposal tipping fee: $63.96 / ton
– Tire disposal: $82.61 / ton
– Yard and wood waste disposal: $31.52 / ton
