CR&R Receives Permit to Construct Largest Green Waste Anaerobic Digester in North America

NEWS … Recycling and waste collection company CR&R Environmental Services, Stanton, Calif., has received a permit to construct an organic waste recycling facility at its Perris, Calif., campus. The facility will be the highest-capacity, automated plant in North America, according to the company.

When completed in 2014, the facility is permitted to process more than 80,000 tons of organic waste per year in phase one, expandable to process more 300,000 tons per year in phases two to four. By diverting this energy-rich waste stream from landfills to the new facility, the company will reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases and produce sustainable, clean-burning compressed natural gas to fuel its fleet of collection vehicles.
