Environmentally Responsible Energy from Waste  

Energy Recovery

90,000+ Drums of Waste Reclaimed for Energy Annually

Crystal Clean’s energy recovery process is a smart and sustainable way to handle non-hazardous waste by turning it into usable energy instead of dumping it in a landfill. This technology helps reduce the waste piling up in landfills and cuts down on greenhouse gases by turning waste into energy that can power homes and businesses.

Choosing energy recovery means you’re helping the environment in a big way. This process not only reduces the need for fossil fuels but also supports cleaner waste management that works with your sustainability goals. Crystal Clean’s energy recovery program makes it easy to manage waste responsibly while making a positive impact on the environment.

Energy Recovery Process

Waste Collection

Professional Crystal Clean representatives collect waste from generators following EPA, DOT and local regulations.

Testing & Evaluation

Waste is tested and evaluated to determine if it can be recovered for energy through the waste-to-energy disposal process.

Consolidation

Approved waste is transported to a Crystal Clean accumulation facility for consolidation. Once consolidated, it is transported to a waste-to-energy facility.

Energy Generation

Waste is burned at the waste-to-energy facility within a self-sustaining combustion chamber. During this process, energy is generated using the waste as a fuel substitute to create steam which powers a turbine to generate electricity that is put back into municipal power grids.

Relevant Services

Waste collected from the following services have the ability to be disposed using Crystal Clean’s energy recovery capabilities.
