Ames Facility Near Capacity Faces Higher Tipping Fees
Ames loses landfill options as Arnold O Chantland plant runs near capacity. The waste to energy facility burns trash, using RDF to power the city’s plant and reducing sulfur dioxide when paired with coal. Nearly 15,600 tons are sent to Boone County each year, with 51,026 tons burned last year.

Waste-to-energy plants in U S reach about one hundred
U S has about 100 waste-to-energy facilities handling roughly 55 percent of waste while recycling and composting take about 30 percent. Incinerators reduce waste weight by 80 percent and volume by 90 percent, with some recovering metals for road beds. Costs and tipping fees influence siting, with higher fees in the East and local resistance in Linn County.
