Gas Recovery – Renewable Energy

A lot of companies talk about their commitment to clean energy and the environment. Seneca Meadows has committed to sustainability for the environment for more than 25 years, and has continued to expand the recovery of gas for renewable energy over the course of those years.

Our Gas-to-Energy Plant reduces greenhouse gasses, lessens our reliance on fossil fuels, and generates greener electricity for local homeowners.

The science is proven and simple. Methane is produced as waste decomposes. Seneca Meadows collects methane and transports it to an adjacent plant where it’s used to power engines that produce enough electricity for over 18,000 homes – all of Seneca County, NY.

The EPA has endorsed methane capture-and-conversion as a “Win-Win” for landfill facilities and the environment. It’s a clean energy source that will be available for years to come.  Learn more about renewable energy at Seneca Meadows.

Frank Knight Elementary Recycling Program

Students at Frank Knight Elementary in Seneca Falls started a program to recycle and recover items often overlooked or unmarketable as recyclable. Students at Frank Knight coined their efforts as a “recycling brigade” to start collecting some of these types of items, many that are immensely popular with the students, such as drink pouches and glue containers.
