Covanta Delaware Valley is a 90 MW municipal solid waste plant in Delaware County. The Delaware Valley Resource Recovery Facility in Chester, Pennsylvania, opened in 1992 and is run by Reworld, formerly Covanta. It processes more than 1,150,000 tons of waste a year using rotary combustion and produces 87 megawatts of electricity. Covanta bought it from GE Energy Financial Services for $94 million in cash, and it serves Delaware County under an agreement with the county's solid waste authority that continues a 25-year partnership.
