Featured Project - August 2026

Waste to Energy
Presented by Solid Waste Services

This month's CivicAnchor feature at Loussac Library explores Anchorage’s Waste-to-Energy (WTE) project, which aims to extend the lifespan of the Anchorage Regional Landfill by converting everyday waste into electricity.

The Anchorage Regional Landfill is currently projected to reach capacity within 50 years. With no room for expansion and a lack of viable locations for a new landfill, the WTE project emerged as a potential solution. The proposed facility would incinerate waste at high temperatures, using the energy produced to boil water and power turbines that would generate electricity for Anchorage’s power grid. The WTE facility is projected to extend the life of the landfill by over 100 years and would generate enough energy to meet 5-10% of Anchorage’s needs. Anchorage’s WTE project is currently in the design and permitting stage, with an expected completion date of 2032.
