Ever wonder where all your waste is going?

HPOWER stands for Honolulu Program of Waste Energy Recovery thats located in Kapolei. The facility serves the municipal waste disposal needs of more than 850,000 residents and more than six million visitors a year. The facility processes up to 3,000 tons per day of solid waste which creates or generates up to 90 megawatts of energy for the Hawaiian electric company. They also recycle steel and aluminum alloy. It's very massive but quite dangerous if your not wearing a hard safety cap or goggles. It was actually cool and unique of how their system works, and we realized how much we throw away each day.
