Without it I could be the richest man in the world , but still miserable . <| sep |> Good question ! Wastetoenergy , like all power generation , is a pretty expensive venture . I only know about the United States , specifically New York , but these plants have three main sources of revenue tipping fees , resource recovery and power generation . Tipping fees is what the plant charges to accept waste generally these fees are priced to maintain the facility , and generation is used to actually make money . Resource recovery is the extraction of metals from the incinerated waste . However , sometimes change happens and the the locale a plant serves can no longer generate enough waste to make the plant viable . This can be due to a variety of reasons diminishing population and adoption of a more aggressive recycling program are the usual suspects . As both tipping fees and power generation are directly proportional to the amount of waste processed , WTE plants pursue as many avenues as possible to ensure that they are operating at capacity as failure to do so could have severe financial repercussions . This often includes waste importation . When a county or city commissions a WTE plant , they usually sign a contract with the operator of the plant saying that they will provide a certain amount of trash each year , or they will incur a financial penalty . A good example of the intricacies of waste imports can be seen in Onondaga County ' s negotiations with Cortland in Upstate New York . They two had been brokering a deal where Cortland County would Ship its waste to Onondaga County to be processed by Covanta Onondaga . Accept 900 , 000 tons or so of ash to be used as liner in Cortland ' s Landfill . The idea here is that Cortland would avoid absorbing the cost of landfilling its waste , while also getting paid to process extra ash , while Onondaga County would avoid having to pay tipping fees at landfills for the ash generated by Covanta Onondaga , as well as being able to meet its contractual obligations to Covanta Electric . The deal ultimately fell through , which has caused some discomfort for Onondaga County as they are struggling to meet their contractual obligations to Covanta Electric . Waste importexport is a pretty big deal in the United States . New York City might be the poster child for aggressive waste exports the city produces a staggering amount of solid waste and is surrounded by some of the most obscenely priced land in the country . As such , it ships the vast majority of its solid waste huge distances by rail and tractor trailer ~~ and ~~ at no small cost . I imagine countries that don ' t have the same amount of empty land the US has must face a similar issue so waste exportation might be an attractive idea if they can cut a deal with the receiving country . Please forgive me if that ' s a bit hard to follow I haven ' t slept yet so my writing is probably a bit shaky . Also , it ' s been awhile since I dusted off that particular knowledge so I apologize if anything is outdated or incorrect . edit so I forgot to include a tldr basically it ' s a financial thing . I also cleaned up an incorrect instance of it ' s vs its .
