Notes: Newton County Dedicates Renewable Energy Park

Newton County officially dedicated its Renewable Energy Park yesterday. The Park, which is powered by methane generated at the county landfill, currently has one occupant, INIG, an egg carton manufacturer.

Republic Services, which runs the landfill and has a customer service center in Morocco, and Newton County partnered to bring new business and jobs to the community while putting a renewable energy source to good use. The industrial park takes methane gas generated by decomposition of garbage and uses the gas to energize INIG, including its large drying machines, used to dry the egg crates made from pulp from recycled paper products.

The landfill has been a part of the county for over 15 years and has opened a customer service center that already hired about 100 people with more hirings to come.
