Detroit’s waste incinerator is the largest incinerator in the world, operated by the world’s largest incinerator company – Covanta.
Burning garbage is one of the primary sources of cancer-causing dioxins in the world
Burning garbage for energy produces more climate pollution per unit of electricity than coal power plants.
Over 90% of waste burned can be recycled or composted, generating more than 10 times the number of jobs than burning or burying these valuable resources.
If all the waste buried or burned in the U.S. were to be recycled and composted, hundreds of thousands of long-term jobs could be created while reducing a massive toxic burden for some of the poorest communities in this country.
Detroit Mayor David Bing can choose to embrace Zero Waste Detroit’s plan for green jobs – expanding curbside recycling throughout the city and ending incineration of Detroit’s trash.
You can help Mayor Bing make this decision by joining thousands of community activists, environmental groups and labor unions in demanding climate, community and labor justice!
Help us make history this summer!
