Plasco and CWMC
“After two years of diligent work by the Central Waste Management Commission, we are proud to be selected as the best solution for the conversion of waste.”
On September 5, 2008 Plasco Energy Group Inc. signed a contract with Red Deer County’s Mayor, Earl Kinsella to build a 300 tonne per day waste processing facility at the Horn Hill Waste Transfer Station.
Mayor Kinsella saw the benefits of Plasco’s technology and despite the small tonnage of waste his County generates each year, he was determined to have Plasco provide an environmentally superior waste management solution. To side-step this hurdle, Mayor Kinsella formed the Central Waste Management Commission that represents 9 neighbouring communities.
The process of establishing this commission was accomplished over a two year period and was the direct result of a successful collaboration between Mayor Kinsella, the neighbouring communities of Red Deer, and Plasco.
About the Central Waste Management Commission Project:
- Plasco will finance, build, own and operate a 300 tonne-per-day facility.
- The waste stream will be comprised of municipal solid waste and ICI (industrial, commercial, institutional) waste from the neighbouring 9 communities.
- The facility is being built on land provided by the County of Red Deer.
- The energy and other products being produced by the facility will be sold by Plasco.
- Excess revenues, beyond a certain threshold will be shared with the Central Waste Management Commission.
- The environmental performance of the facility is guaranteed.
