Wheelabrator North Andover’s waste-to-energy facility generates 40 MW of clean, renewable energy for the local utility, enough to power 21,892 homes throughout the Merrimack Valley region as well as its own operations. The facility uses up to 1,500 tons of residential and business waste each day from North Andover, using this local fuel to create a local-energy ecosystem that generates power for the local utility.

A significant community partner to North Andover and neighboring cities and towns, Wheelabrator North Andover contributes to the area’s growth and prosperity by supporting several civic organizations, including police and fire departments, and partnering with North Andover and Merrimack Valley region public schools.

Wheelabrator is also the largest single corporate contributor to Trauma Intervention Program (TIP) of Merrimack Valley, an organization that provides emergency emotional first aid to children and adults who experience trauma resulting from tragedy or crisis.

“The Science Screen Reports are a valued part of our science curriculum. We so appreciate [Wheelabrator Andover’s] generosity in giving us current, age-appropriate materials that we know are correct and interesting to the students.”
