Murfreesboro Seeks Trash Solution through WastAway
Monday, April 22, 2024, 7:00 pm
Heritage Center, 225 W. College St.
In response to the solid waste issues facing Rutherford County as Middle Point Landfill reaches capacity, Murfreesboro city council has taken steps to build a waste transfer station that would also turn trash into renewable energy. The $65 million project is part of a commitment with WastAway, which specializes in converting waste into different forms of biofuel.
Two WastAway representatives will speak at our spring meeting. This is an opportunity to learn about WastAway’s technology and what it brings to the solid waste situation we face as well as to ask questions.
Speaking will be Mark Brown, chief executive officer, who has more than 15 years of experience in design, management, manufacturing, and project development of solid waste conversion technologies.
Also speaking will be Todd Smith, chief communications officer, a veteran executive who leads the overall branding, public relations, and marketing for WastAway.
WastAway, founded in 2002, is based in Morrison, Tenn. It is a leading green technology company boasting a multi-patented equipment design and processing system that converts municipal solid waste (MSW) to fuel, achieving 85% landfill diversion.
The proposed 22-acre facility, which the city plans to build on Butler Drive, could take in 400 tons of solid waste per day and convert that into a biofuel mass which could be used in a variety of industries.
