Resource Recovery Program
EBMUD, one of the region’s largest wastewater treatment plants, utilizes the plant’s excess capacity and converts the methane generated during the digestion process to renewable energy. The trucked waste program provides an environmentally friendly and economical disposal alternative for a variety of liquids and food processing solids.
