The I-95 Energy/Resource Recovery Facility began commercial operation in June 1990. It is Covanta's largest facility, processing 3,000 tons per day of municipal solid waste for a population of more than 900,000 in the Washington, D.C. suburbs of Fairfax County. The facility sells up to 79 megawatts of renewable energy to Dominion Virginia Power Company -- enough energy to meet the needs of 75,000 homes. It is the first Covanta Energy facility to have a non-ferrous metal recovery system.
