A statement from Fairfax County Recycling and Trash:
The Covanta Fairfax, Inc. waste-to-energy facility, located at the county’s I-95 Solid Waste Management Complex in Lorton, has been closed due to damage from an extensive fire at the facility last week. Damage assessment and plans to restore the facility to operation are ongoing. Until more information about the condition of the facility is made available, it should be considered closed indefinitely, as a practical matter. This announcement will be updated as the condition of the facility and a recovery plan and schedule are developed.
Other than smoke resulting from the fire, no emissions of waste or other materials from the facility have occurred. Please be aware that the municipal solid waste being processed at this facility is generated by residential homes and commercial establishments - no hazardous wastes are accepted at this facility, as this is prohibited by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VA DEQ). The VA DEQ is aware of the fire and resulting situation.
