  • It also contains more than 150 pounds of recyclable metal.

    New Fuel--From Garbage!!

    Picture
    The material shown here was made from actual "black bag" garbage processed  to make a valuable fuel. Laboratory tests determined that the net calorific value of the fuel was more than 8,000 BTU per pound. One ton of this fuel, which can be made from less than 2.5 tons of Municipal Solid Waste, can contain 16,000,000 BTU, equal to 2.75 barrels of crude oil.
    The fuel can be burned on its own or with coal or natural gas to produce heat and electricity.
