Waste as a resource in Harrisburg & Dauphin County

The Susquehanna Resource Management Complex (SRMC) is the nation’s first waste-to-energy (WTE) facility, providing an environmentally responsible and sustainable solution for waste disposal. Located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (the state’s capital), SRMC operates around the clock, reducing waste volume by 90% while transforming it into clean, renewable energy. The electricity generated by this process powers the nearby State Capitol Buildings, highlighting the facility’s vital role in supporting the local community and environment.
