Trash To Power

Pollution Control System — Noblesville, IN — AC Trash Hauling & More

The AC Trash Hauling Crew recently had a friendly debate about recycling and the burning of trash.

The bottom line question, is the burning of trash considered recycling?

It was a lively discussion with a variety of view points.

Alas, we went to our fiends at Google to learn the following information.  The answer still leaves the answer to our question as definite MAYBE.


Enjoy the following.


Waste-to-energy (WtE) is a process of generating energy from the treatment of waste materials. The process involves the conversion of non-recyclable waste materials into usable energy such as electricity, heat or fuel. This method is often used as an alternative to traditional landfill disposal of waste, which can have negative environmental impacts such as the production of methane gas and the contamination of soil and groundwater.

There are several technologies that can be used for WtE, including incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis. Incineration involves burning the waste at high temperatures to generate heat and steam, which can be used to produce electricity. Gasification involves heating the waste in the presence of oxygen to create a gas that can be burned to produce electricity. Pyrolysis involves heating the waste in the absence of oxygen to produce a gas that can be used to produce electricity or converted into liquid fuels.

WtE has several benefits, including reducing the volume of waste that goes to landfill, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and producing renewable energy. However, there are also concerns about the environmental impacts of WtE, such as air pollution from incineration and the potential release of toxins during the conversion process. Therefore, it is important to carefully evaluate the potential risks and benefits of WtE on a case-by-case basis.

Surcharges, Convenience Fees… and Why We Don’t Use Them You’ve probably seen them before: surcharges, convenience fees, service charges. They show up on bills and receipts everywhere these days. While they may go by different names, they all boil down to the same thing—extra charges added after the fact. A surcharge is usually a percentage added to your bill, most often when you pay with a credit card. It’s meant to cover the processing fees charged by card companies. A convenience fee is typically a flat amount charged for using a certain payment option or service—like paying online instead of in person. Here’s the thing… Let’s Be Honest We’re moving fast toward a cashless world . Most of us pay for almost everything with a debit or credit card. Groceries, gas, coffee, trash service—you name it. Do you really think businesses haven’t already built card processing costs into their prices? Of course they have. Processing fees usually run around 3%. From a business standpoint, we’d rather take a $100 payment and pay a few dollars in processing fees than not make the sale at all. Those costs are part of doing business—and yes, they’ve already been factored in. On top of that, many customers are paying far more in credit card interest than the processing fee itself. And About “Service Charges”… Once they show up, they almost never go away. Fuel surcharges are a great example. Fuel goes up, the charge increases. Fuel comes down… but the charge stays. That just doesn’t sit right with us. Our Approach at AC Trash Hauling We don’t add surcharges. We don’t charge convenience fees. And we don’t tack on service charges. If our costs go up, we’re upfront about it. We adjust our prices instead of sneaking in extra fees. No fine print. No surprises. That’s how we believe business should be done. We’d love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to share your comments—we’re always open to the conversation. Just a reminder, we provide our trash hauling services to the following communities and surrounding areas. Noblesville, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Sheridan, Zionsville, Broad Ripple, Cicero, Castleton, Lawrence, Tipton, McCordsville, Fortville, Greenfield, and more upon request.
