The Huntington Resource Recovery Facility began commercial operation in December 1991, serving the Towns of Huntington and Smithtown. The facility processes 750 tons-per-day of solid waste, which generates up to 25 megawatts of renewable energy that is sold to Long Island Power Authority. The Covanta Huntington Resource Recovery Facility is the cornerstone of an integrated solid waste management system for these communities where landfilling is prohibited by state law.
