Orlando Trash Incineration Plant Considered by City Officials
Orlando officials weigh a private Birmingham built garbage burning and steam producing plant similar to Decatur’s. Mayor Bolding and Branum push a local bill for a contract spanning 15 years to supply steam to Gold Kist American Maize and others, with potential 30 percent heating oil savings and reduced landfill costs. The plan envisions 3 to 5 million dollars, unloading fees, and county support as 9,000 tons are dumped monthly at a cost of six dollars per ton.
