The making of a big ash deal

Incinerator ash and the long, winding, pun-packed road from by-product to “buy product”

Ash is the by-product of incinerating biosolids, the organic material extracted from sewage during the wastewater treatment process. Our Southerly and Westerly plants use different methods of incineration, hence the different ash consistencies.
