The City's environmental services department has spent the last two years studying technologies for converting solid waste into energy, fuel, or fuel ingredients at the Los Reales Landfill.  These waste-to-energy technologies represent a false solution that would destroy resources and pose a risk to our health and climate.  

Waste-to-energy is a distraction from zero waste solutions like waste reduction, reuse, product redesign and recycling.  With time, attention and leadership, we can transition from a linear "take-make-waste" ecnomony to a circular one that conserves resources, generates less waste and keeps materials in use for as long as possible.

We are working to urge Mayor Romero and City Council members to reject the siting of a waste-to-energy facility and instead commit to a zero waste future.
