Working Together to Benefit the Chester Community

Reworld has been actively involved in the community since coming to Chester in 2005. We fund college scholarships for local students and an annual school trip to Washington, DC, and support the Save Your Soles diabetes screening campaign. We are proud to work with local citizens and organizations to help clean-up efforts around the city.

Drawing inspiration from our work with the Chester Environmental Partnership, we developed an Environmental Justice policy that guides our actions in Chester—and worldwide.

The Benefits of Thermomechanical Treatment Facilities (TTFs)

Besides sustainable waste management, Thermomechanical Treatment Facilities (TTFs) offer many benefits to the communities where they are located. In Chester, the Delaware Valley facility provides more than 120 good-paying jobs, exports enough energy to power 51,000 homes annually, and generates an estimated $80 million for the regional economy.

Here’s how TTFs are benefiting other communities:

  • Indianapolis: Steam from the TTF provides central heating to the city’s entire downtown loop, which includes over 250 buildings.

  • Minneapolis: The TTF heats and electrifies Target Field (home of the Major League Baseball team the Minnesota Twins), as well as the Target Field Station stop on the city's Metro light rail, which safely transports more than 100,000 fans to Twins home games each year.

  • Niagara Falls, NY: The TTF serves as the hub for local industrial development, providing steam power and sustainable waste services to nearby manufacturers.

  • Hempstead, NY: The TTF operates alongside high-end condominium developments, highlighting that critical waste infrastructure and higher-value economic and residential investment can coexist within the same community.

TTFs also offer significant financial benefits to their host communities. They are a top contributor to municipal budgets, paying host fees in addition to property taxes, which are often used to fund local and regional recycling programs. TTFs also create good-paying jobs and a great deal of economic activity for local restaurants, stores and other businesses. Have questions about the Delaware Valley facility?
