Welcome to Wheelabrator North Andover

It's trash day and you bring your can of garbage to the end of the driveway or toss it in the dumpster. If you live in Eastern Massachusetts, there's a good chance we're making electricity out of your garbage.

Wheelabrator North Andover’s waste-to-energy facility generates 30 MW of clean, renewable energy for the local utility, enough to power 26,250 homes throughout the Merrimack Valley region as well as its own operations. The facility uses up to 1,500 tons of residential and business waste each day from North Andover, using this local fuel to create a local-energy ecosystem that generates power for the local utility.
